iPhone SDK now available

Thursday, March 6th, 2008

So the iPhone SDK is now available to download via the Apple developer connections site.

sdk

The site looks swamped as I’m getting ’server too busy’ messages everytime I click anything and then have to sit hammering the refresh button. Anyhow I’m now currently downloading the 2150.1MB SDK as I type.

From the list of tutorials (I clicked one and now I can’t get back onto the site) it looks like it’s objective C all the way, which is now surprise as it’s OS x with a a little x.

There’s a presentation here, an enterprise beta program here which is “a unique opportunity for IT departments to try iPhone 2.0 software before general release.” this is only for those in the U.S. so far, and the developers program here (if you can get a connection to the server.)

Here’s the pricing structure:

Standard Program $99

The Standard Program is for developers who are creating free and commercial applications for iPhone and iPod touch.

Enterprise Program $299

The Enterprise Program is for developers who are creating proprietary, in-house applications for iPhone and iPod touch.

And here’s some images from the site
