Talking iPhone: will it be a good gaming platform?
Added on 2008-03-12 09:44:00
by Mark Brezinski
With the recent announcement of the iPhone SDK, unhacked iPhone users are no doubt excited for the bevy of third-party applications that will soon festoon their home screens with little rounded icons. Though it remains to be seen, the SDK has the potential to let the iPhone compete with legitimate business devices, like BlackBerries and Palms. A more interesting question, at least for gaming geeks like us, is whether or not the iPhone could become a good gaming platform.

 Now that we've had a few days to digest the information coming out from Apple about the iPhone (read review) SDK and application environment we have to admit that we're pretty impressed. Apple seems to have avoided many of the pitfalls that people were concerned about, including allowing free applications, opening the SDK to anyone who wants to develop and making publication and availability of applications accessible. That's not to say that there are no drawbacks, however, and some important things still need to be worked out. Read on for our top items of concern.

Apple to make SDK announcement soon
Added on 2008-02-27 12:59:00
by Mark Brezinski
 Apple will finally discuss the iPhone SDK (software developer kit), in an announcement to be held March 6th. This continues in the ridiculous trend of the pre-announcement, or announcement trailer, where Apple tells the public to get ready to . . . get ready . . . for something.
In this case, the "something" involved both the iPhone SDK as well as "enterprise features", which could mean anything from Exchange server compatibility to Picard-themed backgrounds. Really, the further down the announcement tree you get, the more vague the information is. Stay tuned to this Blog on March 6th, when this needlessly drawn-out series of non-news will reach its gripping conclusion.

Apple reaching out to iPhone hackers for SDK?
Added on 2008-02-15 11:17:00
by Alfredo Padilla
It looks like Apple might be reaching out to the very active iPhone hacking community as it gets close to releasing the much anticipated iPhone SDK. Macrumors is reporting that the Tiny-Code.com, which was running a repository for third party iPhone applications, has now placed an update on their site stating:
"Tiny Code no longer produces fixes or applications for firmware 1.1.3. We can't say much, but we are working with Apple and with their SDK for the next firmware release and SDK applications and we shouldn't be missed for long. We will no longer update our Installer.app repo for legality reasons and you should see us soon on iTunes."
On the sidebar you see a note that says: "Now targetting fw 1.1.4 Alpha 2". We've long thought that Apple should reach out to those who have already been building applications for the iPhone as they move to a more legitimate third party software solution, and it looks like they might be. This also may be a sign that the iPhone SDK is coming soon. At Macworld last month Steve Jobs indicated that the iPhone SDK would be released by the end of February, as had been previously announced.

iPhone SDK by February 2008
Added on 2007-10-17 11:48:00
by Alfredo Padilla
Steve Jobs just put up a nice little letter on the Apple website letting all of us long suffering iPhone whiners fans know that there will be a software development kit out for the iPhone by February of 2008. Given that support for third party applications has been the biggest omission from the iPhone according to many people (us included) this is major news. There are no details about how the applications will work, but Jobs did hint at some sort of digital signing system, he specifically mentioned Nokia's program for signing applications. He also indicated that the hold up in third party applications has been "because we’re trying to do two diametrically opposed things at once—provide an advanced and open platform to developers while at the same time protect iPhone users from viruses, malware, privacy attacks, etc." Whether you buy that or not is up to you, but we're pretty sure that Apple will be playing it tight to the vest in terms of controlling exactly what applications are added to the iPhone. Overall though we have to say that we're relieved that Apple finally came out and, you know, communicated with it's iPhone users about this issue.
