As some of you probably know by now, iPhone will not be having support for native 3rd party iphone apps. This has bothered a lot of geeks and developers as well as key apple watchers because Apple is (again) leaving developers in the dust. Hopefully things will change later down the road, but it's still hard to ignore the discontent of the developers. Though for some would-be-iPhone-users this is a non-issue. For some, the lack of capability to load potentially kick-ass iPhone apps from great Mac developers is a glaring limitation of the iPhone.
As if things are not bad enough for the developers, Steve Jobs during his
WWDC 2007 keynote struck a lot of developer nerves (to an extent that some say as an insult) when he announced "third party applications" for the iPhone:
We've come up with a very sweet solution.…We've got an innovative new way to create applications for mobile devices. Really innovative.…
I've yet to find a reaction that will top
Michael Tsai's. It's the best hit so far. :D
