Jobs Announces iPhone SDK tools
We think a few months of patience now will be rewarded by many years of great third party applications running on safe and reliable iPhones.
Steve (P. Jobs)
P.S.: The SDK will also allow developers to create applications for iPod touch. [Oct 17, 2007]
I’m not sure why Steve Jobs didn’t just think of saying this back at the Developer Conference when announcing the iPhone. He could have said “soon after” or “within a reasonable amount of time” or “soon, with relation to the release of Leopard and it’s new SDK’s”. Perhaps this is all part of his plan anyway. They say, “… any press is good press”, so I imagine the furor over the iPhone and it’s “closed” architecture was a test for Apple to find out how vulnerable this v.1 product is, also to see how truly interested developers really are in the platform.
