We want to <em>develop<\/em> for it. And in our realm, that is the sincerest form of flattery.<\/p>\n<p>\nMany of us also want to use it. And quickly. If Apple were to open the device up for development, it would also have the effect of establishing a large beta testing pool consisting of perhaps the market&#8217;s most critical users, before going prime-time in June. As I understand the FCC regulations, Apple can rent us unapproved devices for development purposes, much as they did with the Intel transition kits. Please? Pretty please, with sugar on top?\n<\/p>\n<p>\nIn other news, Eric Albert <a href=\"http:\/\/outofcheese.org\/archives\/2007\/01\/09.html#001323\">has confirmed<\/a> that the iPhone is the project he&#8217;s been laboring away madly at for the past several months. Major kudos to Eric for a job (apparently) very well done. You might remember Eric as one of the people who brought us the Intel Mac. As far as I&#8217;m concerned, Eric should be golden-handcuffed to his desk. Apple, don&#8217;t let anybody recruit him away!\n<\/p>\n<p>\nOn a lighter note, I noticed that Dan Wood was among the developers <a href=\"http:\/\/gigliwood.com\/weblog\/MacOSX\/iPhone_..._YAAAWWWW.html\">griping<\/a> about the iPhone SDK situation. You may remember Dan as the unlucky developer whose <a href=\"http:\/\/www.karelia.com\/watson\/\">two<\/a> major <a href=\"http:\/\/www.karelia.com\/sandvox\/\">products<\/a> have been eclipsed to varying degrees by Apple&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sherlock_(software)\">in-house<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.apple.com\/ilife\/iweb\/\">products<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nClearly, if we want an SDK from Apple for the iPhone, we just have to convince Dan Wood to develop one first!\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Update:<\/strong> This post was featured today in Technorati&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/pop\/buzztv\/2007\/01\/buzz_tv_011007_1.html\">Buzz TV<\/a>.
