Apple releases the iPhone SDK

Apple releases the iPhone SDK - read the full textWell, there you have it - Apple has made public the iPhone SDK and now developers of all walks of life can hop on and develop native applications for one of the most hyped mobile phones currently...

 

What the heck? If the iPhone was capable of running third party apps since the day of its release, why didn't Apple distribute the software freely from the start? Hmmm... another of those fancy marketing strategies from Apple I suppose.

First, the transition of monochrome iPod to the 160GB iPod Classic.
Next, iPhone memory 8GB to 16GB in less than a year.
Now, free distribution of software which was once closed-source.

Shame on you, Apple and Steve Jobs!
