Apple opens iPhone to 3rd party applications with an official SDK
We can’t believe it either — Apple is finally letting us in on their secret iPhone sauce! They’re still figuring out how to actually go about this, since mobile threats like viruses, malware, and other nasty things might target the iPhone. Steve Jobs actually drops a Nokia compliment, saying how their digitally signed 3rd party apps make it easy to protect end-users from these types of attacks since the developers have a proven track record. Yes the SDK will also work for the iPod Touch. We’re looking at February here, so let’s get to building that time machine!
Shall we all say together….
THANK GOD!
Huge news and yet again the hype and anticipation will begin. There are alot of developers that have been waiting for this day.
-OK bring out the Anti-Apple Trolls. But this is a good thing.
I’ll have to give Apple credit here. When they figured out there were two major problems with their business model, (price point and locked down os) they adjusted without even blinking an eye.
I’ll be interested to see just how many API’s Apple will open up to developers.
This is real cool! I just wish we didnt have to wait until February lol. Also I hope they dont charge ridiculous amounts of money for these.
Estimated time of completion for the time machine:
February
tool little tool late. apples tactics of dangling shiny new tos an stuff old its like those doller bills on fishsting gags you had as a kid. You see the doller you stop chasing it 2 or 3 times then move on. Oh an chargingi for signatures would be a real turn off. Now oif only they coded NON web based appz. Hey I’m in a dead zone were are my web bassed apps let alone the rest of the functions on my ibrick?!
Iphone blows
This is a good starting off point what more can u ask for.
oh I don’t know make the SDK free instead of charging for it. Rim an nokia don’t charge for there’s it’s free to DL but Apple has to prce gouage it’s sdk already the hacking comunity has developed or modded appes to run on your iphone for free.
APPLE YOU FAIL AGAIN!
So what, they are going to let the thing open to stuff they wanted to shut out? Why didn’t they just do that in the first place?
tisk, tisk, apple *wag finger*
