What the iPhone SDK Means For the World
Ever since Macworld 2008, where Steve Jobs promised an SDK for the iPhone, have Mac developers been waiting with baited breath. This past week has been simply rejuvenating for the Apple world: an iPhone SDK for developers, the promise of the iPhone 2 (a firmware update to probably the world’s greatest 1.0 device), and an App store to sell iPhone apps.
I’m pumped. Apple’s approach to selling all iPhone apps in one place may not be the best for open source apps but it does mean many small developers won’t have to worry about marketing their creations.
I’d love to get my hands on the SDK…but I’m not that good with Apple code yet. And plus I’m crazy if I think I have time to play with it. Maybe I should get an iPhone first. Hmmm.
Update: 4 days after the SDK release, Apple reports over 100,000 downloads. Phenomenal.
