Well well about time.

This is the Newton SDK?

It's about damn time. Now I'm just hoping there isn't some ridiculous method of obtaining various applications, or an absurd review wait time. I guess we'll know soon...

enterprise....? where not going to have to PAY for these apps i hope

So I have to wait until March 6th to find out what yesterday's iPhone update was all about?

Humpf!

@rtwod2: It's only 8 days away. Stay strong.

Finally I can get some sleep. I've been waiting up for days for this.

Will somebody with power please make sure an application is rekeased hat allows one to download images frommthe web and save them to the photo application? Also I like to be able to move photos from my 20d to my iPod touch via USB host so I can email them from my iPod without having to have a computer while backpacking.

I WANT IT NOW!!!!

Or I guess I can wait =/

I have really been dying to get an iPhone but have been putting it off until the price drops. I tried ebay and 4 and 8gb phones are selling for around 400+500 dollars...insane....that said I hope that there will be a price drop....I won't hold my breath for it...but I'll hope for it.

@shoelessone:

I would like this so I can email the JPEGs (And some sort of file browser because I will quickly run out of room since I shoot JPEG + NEF) from my iphone. Mostly so I can I have an "in case shit happens" back up. But with out the ready access of wi-fi in the woods, how would this really help you? Unless you are talking about "backpacking" across Europe or in major cities....

@sorensilk:

Thanks man. You are right. I was just perplexed by last nights update not including any obvious changes. I am assuming this latest update had somthing to do with the SDK release.
Ans since we are wishing out loud for aps, does anyone have any idea why we cannot sync wirelessly yet? I hate being tethered.

Hopefully "Enterprise" means true Enterprise email integration, i.e. Exchange Active Sync or equivalent functionality.

Yes, FREE apps for the Touch and iPhone!!

I know, wishful thinking....

I have yet to have 1.1.4 safari crash. Which is slightly awesome, even though it should have been fixed 1.0.1

@Noobs-R-Us: after the whole 20 upgrade, i doubt any software will be free.

Could there be an announcement of Flash on the iPhone?

windows mobile bootcamp?

I hope Lotus Notes is available as soon as their freaking announcement is over. All my work e-mail goes through Notes, and I can't download it with the iPhone. Then to make things worse, the Safari browser doesn't support iNotes, so I can't check it online either.

My iPhone gets about 100 times more useful when they finally release Lotus Notes.

@thistle.john:

Yeah. Paying for software, what a crazy idea.

How does March 6 qualify as the promised "February" or even "late February"?!?!?

@Dearhaw:

it actually IS a crazy idea, given all the open source and free as in beer software that's already out there.

Wait a minute. They didn't specifically say 2008, did they?

@Skyyboy: Come on now... Really?

I'd rather it be right and a week late then it be all fucked up and have everyone complain about it anyway.

Hey, that's my birthday! What a coincidence. Nice present, Steve.

Thats my birthday. they must have wanted to wait so they could give it to me as a b-day present, thats must be why it late.

@Antihero17: Nice!

@Skyyboy: I just checked my calendar, and it turns out it doesn't.

But as i4ni points out, I'm also not exactly sure why I should care.

@i4ni: I'd have no major problem with a week late if there was some explanation given as to WHY it was a week late...

Hm. A "road map", eh? Sounds like the announcement of an announcement, maybe. Do they actually say anyplace that's there's going to be an SDK on the 6th, or are we just going to hear about what going to be happening with some eventually-to-be-available SDK, I wonder...

Guess we'll know in a week or so.

Come on guys, digg it to the front page. Keep up the Gizmodo support.

Wow, I just realized I typed that sentence like crap. I pluralized the wrong words and didn't pluralize the correct words.

Call me crazy, but I think 1.1.4 is a bit faster. Time will only tell if the Safari and Phone app crashes were patched.

Is it too much to ask for a more descriptive list of changes?

@Dearhaw: It's like nutbastard said. It's not that we're upset at paying for software. It's that we are blocked from free software and forced to pay for it from Apple. A2DP? I paid for Bluetooth capability with my iPhone, but it's doesn't work.

@Noobs-R-Us: It's not exactly wishful thinking. There are lots of free applications for full OS X, why wouldn't there be for mobile? Don't the developers ultimately decide the price?

@jetexas:
lol notes

@newgalactic: You paid for A2DP? I think they said waaaaaaaaay back when it was announced that there was no stereo bluetooth. So you paid for a bluetooth stack that works as intended. At least they could update it in the future unlock most cellphones where you would have to buy a new one.

That's not a Google map. I irrationally sense strain and turmoil in the Google-Apple relationship.

@jetexas: let me be the first to say how sorry i am that you have to use notes.

Let's see some flash!

@thechansen: .... update it in the future and unlock it A2DP capabilities much like OS X 10.5 added A2DP to the BT stack....

@jetexas: I'm a fellow Notes inmate too. I feel your pain every day. We'd get rid of it, but what would happen to all those Notes developers in IT... so we're going to be stuck in 1996 forever!

@nutbastard:

So, do you, or him, or anyone else here know that we'll be charged for every and any software we can install on the iPhone post-SDK? And how much that "service fee" would be?

I'm just sayin', there's gonna be a price on a lot of these software, even the ones that have been, so far, "free" for jailbroken iPhones, because the developers know as well as Apple does that this platform is effing lucrative.

I'll get riled up if and when I find out that Apple will charge ridiculous installation fees, even for free/open source software. Aside from that, I will gladly pay a reasonable price for any quality software.

@thechansen: "I have yet to have 1.1.4 safari crash."

I was on a good streak until this morning. Still, it's a far, FAR cry from the abysmal 1.1.3. Haven't had a crash since.

@MikeSWelch: Since when has Apple ever given a descriptive list of changes. If it's not something they're pushing as a "revolutionary change" (tm), then they usually just put a bullet point that says "something changed..."

Can anyone explain to me how iphones are going for 400-500 on ebay still when they are readily available at the apple store for 399?

@G_Money: grey market.

@Skyyboy:

Using the Applean calendar, the date would be February 35th. I think that would qualify as "late February".

Christ-all-fucking-mighty, let there be MMS

@G_Money: They're probably unlocked.

@ottermann: Very nice!

@thistle.john:

What are you kidding? Its no secret Apple is probably going to follow a model similar to a game console maker. For instance, to make a PS3 game you have to have your game approved by Sony who then allows you to sell the game and takes a cut of however much sell it for.
In this case all apps will be sold through itunes. Maybe some of the devs will be giving away their apps for free but certainly not the majority. Sorry to burst your naive little bubble there dude.
