iPhone SDK non-live blogging
Today is the day Steve Jobs convenes a presentation to address the specific issue of whether or not the iPod Touch will be the PDA I want it to be. Engadget has a very attractive live blog with photos and everything. Well, with photos. Looks like a fully-fledged SDK:
“…we’re opening the same native APIs and tools to build our iPhone apps…”
and the thing the most impressed me: the inclusion of SQLite. There is no end to that app’s utility. Potential for Google Gears, then. Oh, and Super Monkey Ball is a lovely idea.
Not much mention of the Touch, until:
“In just a few months…” MONTHS! “every iPhone user will get what they saw today. But there’s another part to this as well: the iPod touch. Everything will run on the iPod touch as well, including enterprise features. We account for the touch differently than we do for the iPhone so there will be a nominal charge for the touch.”
Months indeed. By that time there’ll be half a dozen more competitors on the market.
Oh well, time to shelve the idea of getting a Touch for a long while yet.
