Apple iPhone SDK Announced
Somewhat delayed, but looking like its worth the wait, Apple announced it's iPhone (and iTouch) software development kit today.
First impression is that it's pretty good.
Supports the dev of all sorts of apps.
One thing I'm a little iffy on is the requirement to distribute apps through the new Apple "App Store". The good news is it seems pretty open. Apple will distribute most apps (no porn, no hacker apps) in return for 30% of the price. Price determined by the developer. Free apps distributed at no charge by Apple.
Apps for the iPhone will also run on the iTouch device too.
Since I'm on the verge of becoming an iPhone owner, I'm sure I'll have more to say about this as time goes on.
