iPhone SDK Rumor Checklist [Apple]
|
Now that we’ve heard what’s up, we can see which iPhone SDK rumors came true. As it happens, the insiders were pretty damn close to dead-on—Hulk doesn’t have to do a lot of smashing today. Let’s review:• Beta only with final coming at WWDC? True - Today’s SDK announcement was beta, and though it’s available today to anyone who wants to try it out. Fingers crossed for the future!• iTunes as application hub/Apple as app picker? Yes, sorta - There’s an iTunesy App Store which can be used both over-the-air on the iPhone (or iPod touch) itself, or sideloaded via a Mac or presumably a PC, via iTunes. • Unfettered freeware? No - Here’s one for the smashing block: Free software will be available, but only through the App Store, where programs will be edited for content. |
