So big news today on Apple Hot News, here is the beginning of what’s announced:
Let me just say it: We want native third party applications on the iPhone, and we plan to have an SDK in developers’ hands in February. We are excited about creating a vibrant third party developer community around the iPhone and enabling hundreds of new applications for our users. With our revolutionary multi-touch interface, powerful hardware and advanced software architecture, we believe we have created the best mobile platform ever for developers.It will take until February to release an SDK because we’re trying to do two diametrically opposed things at once—provide an advanced and open platform to developers while at the same time protect iPhone users from viruses, malware, privacy attacks, etc.
What an incredible news… The iPhone is overall a revolution by itself, and now Apple is opening it officially for third party developers. It will be interesting how the overall SDK will work and how third party will be able to deliver new apps on the phone, but it’s going to bring the iPhone and the iPod touch in a completely different market !Just a few more months to wait !
