The iPhone SDK Gets Delayed

Back in October, Steve Jobs finally announced that Apple will support third-party development of software applications for their iPhone, and everyone got ready for the storm of games and other programs to arrive. First, the SDK for the iPhone and iPod touch was expected to arrive about a month after the MacWorld Conference & Expo, but now, a new delay has just been announced...


Now, it seems that a blog posting at BusinessWeek.com made it clear that the iPhone SDK will be released in early- to mid-March. In the last weeks, everyone was ready to see something new from Apple, but all we got were the smaller prices and those updated iPods.

The most interesting part is that, since 2008 kicked in, Apple dropped us new things on each Tuesday, so since most voices, more or less official, are claiming that if the SDK manages to arrive tomorrow, it won't be the final version, but some Alpha or Beta release.

At last, here's the blog post that started everything. Take your time to read it, and remember that yesterday, Steve Jobs celebrated his 53rd anniversary(Happy birthday, Mr. Jobs!), so if the SDK doesn't make it quite on time, we could also suppose they had a wild party yesterday, and getting back on track was harder than expected...
