Apple Announces iPhone SDK and APP Store
7 03 2008Apple officially introduced the iPhone SDK, which they are going to release in June. The software is going to be free, unlike the iPod Touch upgrade from not so long ago. SDK allows third-party developers to develop applications for the iPhone and Apple already has some of the bigger names in software announcing the iPhoneapps they have developed. EA, the gaming software company has developed Spore, a game that maeks use of the iPhone’s built-in accelerometer. Salesforce.com has some jazzy stuff for sales people (big ? here for me), SQLite, AOL’s AIM now on iPhone, SEGA with “Super Monkey Ball.”
All iPhone 3rd-part applications will be sold via the App Store. This is the new only way iPhone users will get their new applications. You can buy them , is what is meant by “get.” You’ll get an electronic certificate from Apple, which means anything the new app does to your iPhone should probably be covered by the Apple warranty. Porn is illegal in the iPhone.
SDK is available the iPod Touch, too, of course.
