WILL SDK BE UNDERDEVELOPED?
Will tomorrow’s release of the Apple iPhone SDK come anywhere near the levels of usefulness that start-ups and Fortune 500 companies need to create a business model?
I’m going to say no.
I’m also going to restate what I had mentioned a couple months ago and that is: Apple will not let you host your iPhone application on their ONLY method of global distribution unless you have a damned good and damned profitable application.
I’m personally very interested in the business applications piece since I’ve been looking for ways to a) use ONLY my iPhone for all facets of my life and b) connect my Bluetooth-enabled phone to the Web via the Mac.
Neither of these things will happen for a while, but I’m hoping that we can all benefit from a wide selection rather than grumble about a few and far between situation.

Methinks SOMEone needs to rethink their position!

I like to think my inability to foresee the future is part and parcel to other people’s success.
This deserves a big ‘ol “D’OH!”
Good for Apple. They needed this (and other olive branch, money making schemes… I mean, decisions).
