Ok guys! We're going to have an SDK. My friends was talking about it , but we never thought that the announcement would be for today. Steve Jobs officially announced that an iPhone SDK (Software development kit) will be available now. With this SDK, the "approved" developers will be able to develop native iPhone applications.
Here's how the God of portable gadgets, Steve Jobs, announced the news: "Let me just say it: We want native third party applications on the iPhone, and we plan to have an SDK in developers' hands in February. We are excited about creating a vibrant third party developer community around the iPhone and enabling hundreds of new applications for our users. With our revolutionary multi-touch interface, powerful hardware and advanced software architecture, we believe we have created the best mobile platform ever for developers."
Besides the iPhone announcement itself last January, this is probably the most important iPhone news ever. A few weeks after the official iPhone release last June, hundreds of iPhone native applications were developed using the jailbreaking software released by the iPhone hacking community. You can bet, now that Apple will officially permit iPhone 3rd party apps, that many established companies will also jump on the iPhone application bandwagon and release powerful iPhone applications. Hopefully, tons of productivity tools will be coming our way...
There is so much more that can be done with this device. Until now, iPhone had a bright future. But with this announcement, iPhone has the brightest future of all mobile devices out there. Period.
