Live Coverage of iPhone SDK Roadmap Event

[numediaman]

So it won't come out until June, so what? Planning on getting run over by a bus between now and then?

Take my advice: for the next couple of months look both ways before crossing the street, and always use your hands-free device when driving and calling on your iPhone. Ane before you know it it will be June.

 

[BwanaZulia]

Pay monthly??????

Yeah, pay to the DEVELOPER monthly, like Adsense. It is an accounting thing.

iFund? What the...

 

[callmemike20]

Well, I guess I'll just have to wait for iPhone 2.

 

[CBraun53]

Exceptions: bandwidth hog.


I guess this is how they will get out of allowing VOIP, even if you could only use it on your Wi-Fi network.

That better not include a slingplayer.

June?

Talk about a buzz kill...

My heart was racing I was so excited about this. Now I wish I'd just been working this whole time and read about it later.

Word.

Not to mention the "ipod touch works differently and will have to pay a nominal fee."

 

[onionperson654]

$100 million in iFund for iphone developers.

Maybe I was wrong and Apple does understand how a thriving dev community can vastly enchance the value of iphones/ipod touches.
'

While the iphone is getting all the press, the ipod touch is really going to use these developments to become and incredible machine and more than simply an ipod.

 

[jmorrison0722]

Ha ha ha. Touch owners get screwed again!!!

 

[twoodcc]

so basically you have to pay $99 to download the SDK?

 

[dejo]

iPhone Dev Center down!

 

[Gee4orce]

Apple has ticked every box that everybody was hoping they would tick, and then some. Sounds like the iPhone could even give the PSP a run for it's money in the gaming department....

This is awesome news.

 

[EvanLugh]

I need to get myself an iPhone.. stupid n95

 

[londondude]

Yeah, pay to the DEVELOPER monthly, like Adsense. It is an accounting thing.

BZ

oh so i as a customer pay once but the accumulated revenue is paid to the developer monthly?

 

[DJ88]

"That lady with the BSOD is using pen and paper now. Her computer is going through system recovery."

HAHA

 

[dedzombie]

Software Update 2.0 in late june, most likely at the same time the iPhone2 comes out

 

[Island Dog]

So do you have to pay the $99 first to get the beta, or just if you publish?

 

[i.mac]

$100,000,000.00 to develop apps for grabs for iPhone developers...

what is this? Can I apply?

 

[Agathon]

What ? I hope you're joking. You really think Apple has a responsibility to give you free updates for life ? Since when ?

If you want to screw someone, screw Sarbanes Oxley

I wouldn't complain if the update indeed cost a nominal fee, like 2 dollars. But if it is 20 bucks, the Touch will be the last iPod I buy.

 

[numediaman]

If you want to screw someone, screw Sarbanes Oxley

Have you seen a picture of Senator Sarbanes and Representative Oxley?

 

[Stella]

So don't develop an app.

The 30% Apple fee per sale + the developer fee could well dampen interest in the SDK.

re:
- SDK is free to download today. To publish apps, however, there is a $99 developer fee.

 

[BwanaZulia]

oh so i as a customer pay once but the accumulated revenue is paid to the developer monthly?

Yup.

[macduke]

ONE HUNDRED MEEEELLION DOLLARS. Whoa there, Dr. Evil.

 

[DaveTaylor]

is there any firmware update today then or?

 

[DukeSnyd]

3g...

cue complaints

 

[Stang68]

The SDK is out as of today. Just no APPLICATIONS until June.

Does that mean the enterprise stuff like 802.1x will be avaiulabe today?
