- estvir, on 03/07/2008, -5/+35'bout
- cannibaljp, on 03/07/2008, -1/+31i have to say that they really exceeded what i thought they were going to do with this.
i'm looking forward to seeing what the developers can do! - Skitals, on 03/07/2008, -1/+27Some videos of iPhone games by EA and SEGA:
Spore: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5xA8-XvjNk
Super Monkey Ball: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4a6-cUOPoLY - GregR, on 03/07/2008, -2/+24No wonder Apple has been so confident in their insistence they are going to reach the sales target for iPhones. Once the 2.0 upgrade comes out all those business people hampered by the lack of Exchange connectivity will finally be able to buy one.
- joel8x, on 03/07/2008, -1/+20I wonder if there will be a shortage of iPhones soon after the SDK is released. The Exchange integration is a blackberry killer (yes I hate any killer reference, but come on - how many RIM outages in Canada before people say enough already and get an iPhone? And don't forget that browsing the web on a Blackberry is useless). And, can you imagine MMORPG's on your cellphone? Spore looks amazing - I really hope it integrates with the console versions.
- adrianc1982, on 03/07/2008, -5/+23This iphone thing is going way to fast for me, steve is doing updates every month and he is hitting the jackpot, the iphone could morph into a all-in-one device in the future. Really I wasnt going to buy an iphone but he is doing so much that is hard not to want one at this point.
- xoineg, on 03/07/2008, -4/+21i just want my ADIUM on my iphone.....pleaseeeee and some cool games too
- kashk5, on 03/07/2008, -4/+20Hey now, the phones themselves can be pretty nice. It's just the software that sucks
- RoxStar1968, on 03/07/2008, -10/+25What? Mac only :-p?
- PurpleSfinx, on 03/07/2008, -0/+15Exellent! Now they just need to RELEASE THE DAMN PHONE IN AUSTRALIA and I'll be all over this!
- teexcue, on 03/07/2008, -12/+27Finally, push e-mail!
Now let the rants from the microsoft fanboys start about how they had this all along.... - h4ckler, on 03/07/2008, -16/+30...along with their ***** designed phones.
- PapaRaboon, on 03/07/2008, -5/+17Emm, well course it's Mac only. The iPhone is a Mac. it runs MacOS X dummy. Why would you want to program a Mac on a Windows box anyway?
Apple are in the business of selling Macs. If making the iPhone SDK Intel based Mac only will encourage a few people to go out and buy a new Intel Mac then that's a good business decision isn't it? Apple aren't a charity you know. If you want to be a developer of the iPhone then stop being a cheapskate and at least buy a Mac Mini. geezuz!!! You could always sign up for the iFund if you have a good idea and a decent dev team. - Protoss, on 03/07/2008, -5/+17idk, my bff jill?
- tacojohn, on 03/07/2008, -0/+11Super Monkey Ball looks ***** amazing!
- ElectroBot, on 03/07/2008, -0/+11Because XCode is Mac OS X only.
Why Intel Mac with OS X 10.5.2+ ? Because that allows them to deal with less issues. Besides, Intel Macs have been available for over 2 years now. You can get a Intel Core Duo (the first Intel Mac other than the Developer machine) 1.86GHz for quite cheap now. - OGla, on 03/07/2008, -1/+11Put World of Warcraft on the iPhone and turn 8 million people into iPhone/WoW zombies forever.
- r3zonance, on 03/07/2008, -0/+10I use Visual Studio at work and home, and I'm not laughing. Xcode is the only way because it has the necessary tool set already built into it.
Do you expect Microsoft to ensure you can create Mac OS X apps using Visual Studio? Don't be an idiot. - aloser, on 03/07/2008, -2/+12All I want is a good SSH client and I'm sold.
- Livewired, on 03/07/2008, -2/+11Too bad download site is crapping out...
http://developer.apple.com/iphone/program
Had to reload about 20 times before I finally got through. - virtualball, on 03/07/2008, -0/+8To be fair, it's okay when you consider that $99 gets you eternal hosting, infinite bandwidth, a way to make money, and help from Apple professionals...
- notadiggtard, on 03/07/2008, -1/+9Considering there are no bandwidth costs for people to download the app,plus it gets exposure on every iphone/touch out there I would guess more than a few.If they can't handle $99 then their app has got to be ***** anyway.
- nixfu, on 03/07/2008, -0/+8Apple really hit it out of the park with this one.....the iPhone is going to have a phenomenal third-party free/pay software eco-system.
- hadimirza, on 03/26/2008, -0/+8I believe its $99 once if you plan on selling your apps.
- NSResponder, on 03/07/2008, -0/+8 they have to be entirely accelerometer based,
No, they don't. The iPhone has this thing called a 'touch screen'. I'm surprised that you haven't heard of it.
-jcr - inactive, on 03/07/2008, -3/+10You don't have an iPhone, do you?
- notadiggtard, on 03/07/2008, -5/+12Never will be.One last time-the two devices are accounted for differently on the books.Get used to it and get over it.
- djmak, on 03/07/2008, -7/+14 and again the ipod touch update isnt free :(
- virtualball, on 03/07/2008, -2/+8Actually, I know you're wrong. Having the internet wherever you go is a powerful feature. I can give you more then one occasions where I was in a town, just driving through 'course, and I needed to know where a restaurant is. Or, I could check my Digg anywhere. Also, there's the benefit of only needing to carry one device around. I don't believe I look like a tool, especially because I don't flaunt it. Though, you might believe all iPhoners have the trendy messenger bags, stylish but still indie black rimmed glasses and listen to the Shins in their sleep. Well... I'm only one of those three. :)
- Balanced, on 03/07/2008, -0/+6I've used Visual Studio.... very briefly. I much prefer XCode. I'm an edge case as I'm a student developer, though.
(As to why, XCode has (in my opinion) a more useful UI. It's like the difference between Word and other word processors. VS has a ton of features, but it throws all of them at user at the same time, making the thing kind of a mess. - inactive, on 03/07/2008, -1/+7This is no longer going to be an all-in-one device. All-in-one devices typically feature a suite of proprietary apps. Now that developers have the ability to develop virtually anything for the iPhone, it's a small tablet computer now.
- nonsequitor, on 03/07/2008, -1/+7Expand your brain, man
- mrBitch, on 03/07/2008, -0/+5Mio, you obviously have not developed under both VS and XCode. If you had then you would notice how XCode is a much more powerful development platform.
To put it simply: VS is to XCode as a WinMobile OS is to the iPhone OS ( ie: VS is clunky and poorly designed. XCode is sleek and powerful, and incredibly well designed). - kashk5, on 03/07/2008, -2/+7Exactly. I can easily see Apple hitting the 10 million quota by the end of the year with all of those corporate accounts. AT&T must also be pretty happy
- deadbaby, on 03/07/2008, -2/+7Buy separate devices, "use the internet at home" -- Do you own Palm stock or something?
- chuckpenzone, on 03/07/2008, -2/+7Phil Schiller has officially lost the right to use the words "amazing" or "incredible" due to overuse.
- cyclopean, on 03/07/2008, -1/+6Then get one... I live in NS and I have one. Just buy a locked phone on kijiji and use ziphone to unlock it. It's so easy a monkey could do it.
- wjbp, on 03/07/2008, -0/+5He can only be the idiot he is. Microsoft flag waving *****.
- mockupscaledown, on 03/07/2008, -0/+5There's already a link to your profile, why are you consistently linking to it in your comments?
Buried.
Blocked. - kevdude421, on 03/07/2008, -0/+4When the hell is this happening? :(
- hadimirza, on 03/26/2008, -3/+7http://thepiratebay.org/tor/4066811/iPhone_SDK
- mockupscaledown, on 03/07/2008, -0/+4And a bash shell...
- Protoss, on 03/07/2008, -0/+4Yeah I think this is just a good way to prevent one company from making a lot of $5 dollar apps that do next to nothing, like the Windows Mobile scene has become.
- NyteStarNyne, on 03/07/2008, -3/+7Atomic05 in the 90's: Ugh, why is this cell telephone taking off? You can use your rotary at home and there is a payphone on every corner for emergencies!
The upshot to that is you get to not look like a tool holding a device that doesn't even have wires, and you'll save a lot of money because payphones are only a quarter. - Proctor, on 03/07/2008, -0/+4Uhh...the iPod touch was made to be a media player with touch functions, not a kind of PDA device like the iPhone. The touch could be a PDA like device, but they like to lock down the iPod's :) As Steve said.
- inactive, on 03/07/2008, -1/+5develop it then you turd
- wjbp, on 03/07/2008, -0/+4The actual law changed in regards to reporting revenue in a way that makes a company look stupid enough to charge .99 for a software update(Apple again). It's new territory that afflicts Apple quite a bit because they update usability regularly. It's like the law (is it contained within Sarbanes/Oxley) was written by IBM or some other evil beast. It was supposedly a response to the evils of Enron and was notably voted against in the house by 3 counting, you guessed it, Ron fricken Paul.
- MacParrot, on 03/07/2008, -0/+4If you could buy an iPhone then you get too much in the way of an allowance from your parents. This announcement is MORE than just about games.
