iPhone SDK in January
October 17th 2007
BusinessWeek reports that Apple may be planning a mid-January release of an iPhone SDK (software development kit).
Sources familiar with the company's plans [say] that Apple will release a software-development kit for the iPhone in early 2008, enabling programmers to create games, business-productivity tools, and countless other applications for the device ... suggests it may be slated for Jan 15, when Chief Executive Officer Steve Jobs takes the stage at the Macworld Expo...
BusinessWeek believes that Apple has held off releasing an SDK because of technical concerns and not to keep the iPhone closed (ie stable).
Editor's note: Pardon my cynicism, but with all of the seemingly punitive restrictions on the iPhone's use and its warranty, I doubt Apple will release anything that's of much use...
What's your take?
