Well, would you lookee at what just arrived in the mailbox? It’s an invitation from Apple to a special event on March 6 to discuss the “iPhone Software Roadmap.” At last, a week from today, Apple will discuss the promised SDK. The invitation, as usual, is terse:
Please join us to learn about the iPhone software roadmap, including the iPhone SDK and some exciting new enterprise features.
Are you thinking what I’m thinking? What “exciting new enterprise features” are we talking about here? Are we going to see the iPhone get Microsoft Exchange support?
Hopefully, Apple won’t be dilly-dallying anymore and will release the SDK during this event. Jobs promised to have the SDK “in developers’ hands” by February and March 6—well, let’s just say it ain’t February, no matter how much you stretch it.
Sound off in the comments; it’s free of charge.
I'm not gonna lie - I'm taking pity on the lack of comments in this blog.
Personally I'm pretty excited for the SDK to release and get into talented hands, but it has me immensely worried. The execution of the software distrution could turn out terribly - and by execution, I mean the dollar amount each little iPhone and iPod touch gem will cost us.
I like the idea of new software for these devices as much as anyone, but I have a sickening feeling in my gut telling me it's gonna cost an arm and a leg.
