Atlast Apple released the Apple iPhone SDK today.. I am a Registered iPhone Developer as of now.
A few notes about SDK
- Its only for MAC OSX Leopard.
- The Size is 2GB includes XCODE IDE, emulator and interface builder.
- The apps will be distributed through itunes store and mobile app store.
- You need a $100 apple dev a/c to publish apps to iPhone users through itunes and App Store.
- There will be a 2.0 iPhone firmware which supports these apps in June, untill then beta releases of 2.0 for testing code.
- Apple will check the apps, before they are pushed to iTunes app store.
- iFund($100 million) is setup for funding developers with good apps.
- Apps will also be available to iPod touch but with a nominal fee, just like the january update.
Wanna setup Mac OS X Leopard without apple hardware on PCs ,refer my prev blog post.
As far as i know you can't install leopard on VMware virtual machine unlike the tiger..
Apple also announced the Enterprise features for iPhone like exchange mail sync, push email, push contacts, remote device wipe etc...
Currently i am getting server connection reset on the SDK download link, hope this is fixed soon..
NO MORE TOOLCHAINS :P

Really good news!! I'd like to develop some applications but I'm not so lucky to have a Mac. What can I do? Do you think that I could do it over linux? thanks
No not on linux, though in future someone will surely comeout with a way to install MAC leopard on VMware and other virtualisation software..
