Software Kit for iPhone, iPod Touch Applications Set for February 2008:
Glenn Fleishman, TidBITS: ‘While there was no consensus in the existing Mac developer community as to whether Apple would ever fully open up the iPhone platform for third-party applications — a view reinforced by Apple’s early reluctance to make any commitment — Jobs stated quite clearly at the D: All Things Digital conference in May 2007 that Apple would open the iPhone up.’
Which makes more sense? To release an SDK in the summer before the launch of Leopard, with all the resources that is consuming? Or wait a few months, sell a million handsets (which will get developers salivating), and release a more complete SDK for a well-tested platform?
