IP Telephony VoIP Broadband Latest Post Last Posts Archives Previous Post Is proprietary iPhone video player on the way Exclusive iPhone DevCamp s Raven on iPhone SDK and what it means Posted in News BlackBerry Apple Just a few minutes ago I had a most enlightening email conversation with someone who knows as much about the new iPhone SDK and its effects potential as anyone who doesn t work at Apple. And probably know more than most who do. That d be Raven Zachary who you may know as key force behind the iPhone DevCamp group and grin from SF event in pic as well as an analyst and perhaps THE key thought leader in the third party iPhone developer community. Raven had some thoughts on the new iPhone SDK. I know you are here because you want to know what he thinks. Comin at ya RS Your overarching thoughts on SDK is it what you hoped for in terms of flexibility ease of use etc RZ This is what the development community was hoping for a platform that allowed developers to build na! tive applications for the iPhone and iPod Touch. In terms of openness it looks to be something in between what Apple does today with the iPod Games market and the Mac. Developers can write almost anything but will need to distribute the software through the iTunes App Store with Apple taking a revenue share for distribution billing and marketing basically. Developers wanting to distribute free applications through the App Store will be allowed to do so as well. RS How does SDK functionality change the game for party iPhone devs RZ rd party development for the iPhone up until now was web based through Safari and a small number of people in the hacker community working on unofficial apps. We re now going to see an entire new market created around native applications and providing functionality not possible through web development. You ll see iPhone development for web based applications just not exclusively. RS Are you troubled by the Apple control issue i.e. they reserve rig! ht of approval RZ No because it seems that Apple will only limit this in extreme situations. Steve Jobs was quoted in the Q A session with the media that they would even allow VOIP applications although limited to Wifi and not over the carrier network. What we don t have here is Apple review of all source code which would have been time consuming and expensive. RS In SDK what s cool RZ Everything pretty much. Apple has provided a large sandbox for developers while still providing for data security. RS In SDK what s missing that ought to be there RZ There are still a number of unanswered questions from today s announcement such as hardware and peripheral connectivity but these will be answered by Apple in time. RS Any other thoughts RZ Don t underestimate this market and the disruption on RIM BlackBerry . Kleiner Perkins is putting m into the iFund and this platform has a very exciting future and one with plenty of commercialization opportunities for rd party developers. posted by Russell Shaw March pm Previous Post Is proprietary iPhone video ! player on the way Last posts Exclusive iPhone DevCamp s Raven on iPhone SDK and what it means Is proprietary iPhone video player on the way Truphone cuts international rates with new Tru Zone offering Score one for the little guy FCC entirely backs consumer in Sprint slamming case Fonality boosts presence detection in new PBXtra .
