- LaughingMan11, on 11/03/2007, -0/+441It's great that we're hearing more and more from Steve directly these days, rather than waiting for big events like Macworld to get any news whatsoever about Apple. They're becoming a little bit less secretive.
- silver31u, on 10/30/2007, -18/+388Someone check, has Hell frozen over?
- postalblowfish7, on 10/25/2007, -9/+284the SDK will work for developing for the iPod touch as well.
- bpapa, on 10/26/2007, -30/+205Awesome. Now hopefully people will stop hacking their phones like idiots and then crying later when the hacks break.
- puddi, on 10/23/2007, -3/+112While this is a duplicate, I do prefer the link straight to Apple over the link to Engadget. Dugg this one, buried the other!
- colincornaby, on 10/20/2007, -3/+82Now we can prepare for iPhone dominance.
- onus88, on 10/20/2007, -4/+76Sweet, I can't wait. I'm glad that we can stop playing the "cat and mouse" game now.
- surfing, on 10/21/2007, -3/+68that's just your girlfriend on the trampoline.
- Kerr, on 10/20/2007, -7/+70This is good news indeed, not only iPhone but iPod touch...
- kingkilr, on 10/21/2007, -6/+60Holy *****, the cubs just won the world series!
- Ireland, on 10/22/2007, -16/+69It's good to know you can read.
- Ben174, on 10/23/2007, -23/+69I wouldn't get too excited yet. By "developers" he might just mean big players like PopCap Games, etc., just like the iPod. I seriously doubt it'll be open season for anyone to install anything they want on their iPhone, as installer.app allows now.
- fumblr, on 11/09/2007, -5/+42Where is the SDK for the AppleTV there is so much potential but no action, Apple has forgotten about my poor AppleTV.
- zabouth, on 10/18/2007, -5/+36Jobs is an arrogant control freak: True
who is making the biggest mistake apple has ever made: False
Apple was going under in 1997 Steve took over and now look at apple he saved the company.
PS
I am not an apple fanboy but anyone who knows anything about the IT industy knows steve jobs had the Midas touch when it comes to business.
eg
1. Dreamworks - a little subsidiary or lucasarts before he took over.
2. NeXT - The internet as we know it was crated on a NeXT (http). - saveryuk, on 10/19/2007, -1/+31Let me just say that *now* I'm interested in getting either an iPhone or iPod touch.
- frostieDude, on 10/18/2007, -0/+30I think you mean Pixar, not Dreamworks.
- Sawta, on 10/19/2007, -3/+32I still find it bizzar that I don't own an iPhone, nor have any inclination to get one, but even I was excited about this news. Hell, my heart skipped a beat. Perhaps I'm just excited because this will spell the end for articels complaining that the iPhone doesn't have SDK..of course until febuary, people will be whinning about it not being out soon enough.
- sleepwalkers, on 10/22/2007, -2/+29Why did you update when you had a hacked iPhone?
- johnnybluejeans, on 10/18/2007, -3/+28Honestly, I don't think they would make this public announcement if that were the case. I think they would just silently recruit developers and announce to the world that 3rd parties have begun work on "exciting new products".
I'm sure their distribution model will have restrictions, but I expect it to be in line with how the Sidekick works -- only allowing you to sell software that has been approved by Apple. - PunkFenixJT, on 10/19/2007, -6/+30does that mean by February I can have an IM client that won't get removed after software updates? Still waiting for native ichat....
- Ireland, on 10/19/2007, -0/+23In a way that's true, but he never mentioned the 11" 'Mac touch' multi-touch tablet that's currently in development ;)
- Kerr, on 10/18/2007, -6/+28I would check your facts first, the only phones being bricked were the ones that were being unlocked; and not the ones that had 3rd party apps on them.
- TVarmy, on 10/20/2007, -2/+24Apple actually officially declared that happened when they released iTunes for Windows XP. Everything else, be it Intel, Boot Camp, an Open iPhone, are just more signs of the end times.
- sakuraz, on 10/19/2007, -7/+28Not sure about that, but I think I just saw a pig fly by from the window.
- atb112, on 10/20/2007, -8/+29I can't wait to see how pissed off everyone will be after Apple announces the apps will only be available by purchasing through iTunes.
- EdwardsNH, on 10/18/2007, -0/+21Uhhh... did you read the article? "...and enabling hundreds of new applications for our users."
Hundreds, he said. And, they're doing stuff to avoid malware and viruses. That doesn't sound anything like just a few "big players". - dcharti, on 10/19/2007, -2/+21Apple didn't brick iPhones that had third-party apps on them. Those iPhones updated fine, but the apps got blown away because each update is a full OS install and not simply a few cherry-picked files (makes updating the device easier if you don't have to tip-toe). Only unlocked iPhones were bricked with the update, and it wasn't Apple's fault.
- postalblowfish7, on 10/23/2007, -8/+27i don't think you understand the situation.
there were apps that required you to hack your iphone to get on. a system update made these apps broken, and in turn bricked phones. apple didn't intentionally brick anyone's phone. - digudown, on 10/19/2007, -3/+22It's a service to those who did not bother to read the aritcle ;)
- 5wallace, on 10/20/2007, -3/+21Actually, I wouldn't give a shi!t. I will pay for programs that are approved by apple and guaranteed to work update to update. I don't mind paying a reasonably fair price to avoid the headache of hacking my phone.
- etandrib, on 10/22/2007, -1/+19Their agreement with AT&T probably stipulates they can't unlock the iPhone and their agreements with music labels don't allow them to create free ringtones.
I don't think it is their business model but rather negotiated agreements that need changed. And I do think these will all happen sooner than later. - tizz66, on 10/18/2007, -0/+18I disagree, I think people will still make iPhone webapps for the same reason they still make other webapps as opposed to desktop applications. Rapid development, access anywhere, easy updating on the server.
- colto, on 10/21/2007, -3/+21LMFAO. I just spit coke all over my desk when I read that.
- justinviger, on 10/22/2007, -0/+17I agree. I have done that a lot.
- BHSPitMonkey, on 10/18/2007, -1/+17The Newton already came out, and I'm afraid you missed it.
- Ireland, on 10/18/2007, -0/+16http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=%3B ...
- amneosis, on 10/18/2007, -1/+17*checks URL at least 10 times to ensure it's not a fake*
- johnnybluejeans, on 10/18/2007, -2/+16What in the world are you talking about?
- xerexes1, on 10/22/2007, -5/+19Sorry, I meant to digg you up. Too bad Digg doesn't have an "undo" feature.
- antdude, on 10/19/2007, -1/+15Drugs are bad, mmmkay? [grin]
- Avian00, on 10/19/2007, -0/+13Agreed! I've been so sick of all this speculation about official third party apps on the iPhone/iTouch. I'm glad Steve finally stepped in and settled it. That was a good move for him. If other people are like me, they were waiting for that EXACT news to finally go out and buy one!
- MauiMac, on 10/23/2007, -0/+13Does this make it possible for Adobe to bring Flash to the iPhone and iPod touch?
- Ireland, on 10/18/2007, -0/+12FINALLY, FINALLY, FINALLY!!
- durangotang, on 10/18/2007, -1/+13***** YES!
- MrNonchalant, on 10/19/2007, -1/+12Maybe next he'll start blogging. And calling people Microtards. I can dream, right?
- cakeeating, on 10/18/2007, -3/+14Yeah. I was thinking the same, but the Engadget one is a permalink - this one just goes to the Hot News homepage - which means in a week or whatever, something entirely different will be living there - Leopard-related, most likely.
Quite a conundrum. - inactive, on 10/17/2007, -1/+12I won't say "I told you so"... but I will say I'm glad I waited. Native apps developed with the Apple iPhone SDK will be *much* higher quality than the hacked together, jailbreak crap.
- kaplanfx, on 10/20/2007, -1/+12It's just a little airborne, it's still good!
- dizavin, on 10/18/2007, -10/+20awesome! finally! yes!
I mean, come on.. am I the only one here that's actually a bit hyped about this? if this means I can get 3rd party apps on my touch, know that they'll work and NOT void my warranty, then I'm all for it. I haven't hacked my touch yet because, even though Apple is being a bit of a dick about opening the thing up, I think that its about a million times worse for some joe to require that I totally demolish my warranty status to try out his app that may or may not even work properly. and if it doesn't he won't take any sort of responsibility for it. I mean, what the ***** is that all about?! you talk as if Apple is some totalitarian oppressor for just taking a while to get the 3rd party support (that we now have proof that it was the idea all along. just sayn'.) out there, meanwhile these guys doing jailbreaks are being built up as low-key ipod and iphone liberators.. and they've set it up so that you, as the end user, will bear ALL the responsibility and ALL of the cost if their home-brew hacks and jailbreaks come up short for any reason whatsoever.
wasn't patience a virtue? or did that stop somewhere around 2001? - signal15, on 10/18/2007, -1/+11Hopefully this will allow *ANY* developer to make apps for the phone, and not just developers that have paid for a signing key for their apps, or pay to have apple review and sign the app.
Although, the Sidekick has a developer key that you can request and install on the phone. Then you can install your own apps on the phone with that development key. Maybe Apple will do something along those lines? -
