So Apple has finally lifted the curtain on the long-awaited iPhone SDK. Here is a quick rundown of the main features: the SDK is basically Xcode, with special stuff for the iPhone... there will be a $99 fee for developper, who will receive an authentication key the developpers choose the price of their apps, and keep 70% of the revenue (no credit card charges, no hosting fees) developpers can choose to release their app for free at no charge on Apple's side the apps will work on the iPhone and iPod touch the apps will be distributed via the AppStore, accessible on the iPhone or in iTunes apps updates will be automatically distributed through the AppStore demos of apps (developped in a week or two) were shown: a motion-sensitive space shooter, EA's Spore (!), a medical app... For the business-oriented people, the iPhone (and the touch) will get push e-mail, push contacts and push calendars, using Exchange's ActiveSync, as well as remote swipe of the phone's content Apple will provide large companies with a way to deploy apps on their corporate iPhone fleet Well, that's a lot of features, we'll have more for you later.
