iPhone SDK delayed?

daryl — Sun, 24 Feb 2008 06:48:52 +0000

The Byte of the Apple blog (Businessweek) reports that that Apple’s iPhone SDK may not be ready in time for Apple’s self-imposed deadline of February 29th. According to their source the SDK may be delayed by up to three weeks and that the situation is fluid. Apple might opt to release selective information next week instead of a full-fledged SDK.

Steve Jobs announced in October 2007 that Apple would release an SDK (software developer kit) for the iPhone and iPod touch in February 2008. It is believed that Steve Jobs announced the SDK in response from developers who were frustrated that third-party development for the iPhone was limited to web-only applications.

Have you seen the Justine Ezarik video on YouTube where she opens her first AT&T iPhone statement? It was delivered in a box and weighed in around 300 pages.

In response to this video and similar videos AT&T recently sent a text message to all iPhone users stating that “We are simplifying your paper bill, removing itemized detail. To view all detail, go to att.com/mywireless. Still need full paper bill? Call 611.”. And they will surely save a few trees too!
