We don’t usually go into too much depth on iPhone stuff over here, but it’s worth pointing out news this big. Apple officially announced this morning that they would be dropping the non-disclosure agreement that bound developers from discussing the intricacies of programming for the iPhone.
…the NDA has created too much of a burden on developers, authors and others interested in helping further the iPhone’s success, so we are dropping it for released software. Developers will receive a new agreement without an NDA covering released software within a week or so. Please note that unreleased software and features will remain under NDA until they are released.
This is a great move for Apple, and I’m psyched to see that they’ve paid attention to the comments their developers have been making—especially as I railed against the NDA in a lengthy editorial just last week. We’re following this breaking news over at iPhone Central, so if you’re interested in the nitty gritty, keeps your eyes on that space.
I'm getting an iPhone soon; their pay as you go here in the UK as of the 23 September. They're $399.99, and you get free intenet for 12 months, and after that its £10 a month. Can't wait!
