iPhone SDK

Filed under: Apple, Dev, Mobile — tim CARMICHAEL @ 11:16 pm

So its finally here.  After a long wait we have the iPhone SDK.

Actually, the most interesting thing for me is the announcement of the beta of iPhone 2.0 OS which amongst other things includes a native Exchange synchronisation client based on Microsoft ActiveSync.  this is a good move as it brings the iPhone formally into the corporate support fold without having to use ’sticky tape’ to get messages from all your different email providers.  Surprisingly, Apple implemented device wipe as well as part of the Exchange support.  this is logical in the sense that Exchange supports this functionality, but I hadn’t quite believed that Apple would go so whole hog on the Exchange integration.

Anyway, you can watch the presentation here http://www.apple.com/quicktime/qtv/keynote/
