WANT DAILY IPTIB TEXT ALERTS? TEXT IPHONE TO 25808
You all may have seen iLounge’s report today about the SDK.
In a nutshell, iLounge’s sources say that the final SDK isn’t due until June, iTunes will be the central hub for downloading the apps and developers likely won’t have access to products that use the dock connector, but will have access to Wi-Fi and the camera.
Good story … the new part of this is the dock connector limitation. If true, it would certainly impact the kinds of great things we could get.
I’ve mentioned before that iTunes will be the hub for the applications. I’ve mentioned that Apple will want full and strict control over what an official app is. And I’ve mentioned that we have to be prepared that an event called the SDK roadmap could mean that we get only a taste first and the full meal later.
iLounge is right on that stuff … this isn’t the world premiere. This is the final trailer. The time between March 6 and June is actually going to be the most exciting time in the SDK world, even if it makes us bite our nails off and pull our hair out.
Feel free to discuss in the comments … I know you all want the SDK badly and are trying hard to wait … I know it’s not easy. Believe me, I do. … but I think what we see March 6 will be pretty wowing. I really do.
I hope I’m right.
Thanks for calling.
