Sorry for getting you excited but this is just to get an idea of what the SDK will offer. I really don't know anything but that the SDK will probably be only available over iTunes to purchase. For the new users of itouch who have a version of 1.1.3, many of the apps don't work like Apollo IM. Therefore, i am hearing that Apollo IM will be in the SDK.

Any more apps you guys know that will be available in the SDK?
 
SDK is the Software Development Kit and itself will not be downloadable through itunes but to developers direct. The software made using the dev kit will i expect be purchasable through itunes. The apps will probably be 'sandboxed' in theiir own environment to some degree for security reasons meaning its likley they wont have full access to the phones functionality so expect games maby office style apps etc but not plugins (flash) or customization software or anything else interface orientated. These is some argument about the types of apps that will be allowed due to contractual obligations such as instant messaging and voip etc but remember ALL of this is speculation and educated guessing.
