As planned, the iPhone SDK was released today, along with a promise about a new 2.0 update to the iPhone software. There are a lot of new features that are actually planned for this new 2.0 update. First of all, there are a host of new enterprise features that companies will love. Secondly, we will get a AppStore, where you will be able to buy and download applications that Apple makes available. It kind of looks like installer doesn't it?
Unexpectedly, Apple also demoed a few apps that it and 3rd party developers wrote. Most of these were games, which looked fun I might add. They also said that many apps can be easily created in "under 10,000" lines of code. Now I know you must be saying "Boy gee, I've written papers longer than that." Good for you, but that is very short for an application.
Currently, you can download the SDK for free, although the site is acting slow and my download isn't done yet (damn you 1.5MB/s download speed!). You can also apply for a shot at the beta 2.0 software. If luck is on my side tomorrow, my step-father's company will get a copy and I will have a 2.0 iPhone. ![]()
