Bad News Sportsfans, iPhone SDK May Be Delayed

The iPhone Software Development Kit (SDK) was promised by the end of February. I just checked, and well, here we are; it is the end of February.  Unless Apple is going to do a sneaky, underwhelming release of the SDK, it doesn’t look like it is coming.

In fact, Business Week is reporting rumoring that the SDK will be delayed anywhere from 1 - 3 weeks.  I am not typically a rumor hunter, but in this case, Business Week is the group that broke the SDK story originally, even before Mr. Jobs released the information way back in October.

What does this mean?  It means that all of you installer.app folks still have a better phone than me.  It also means that Web Apps are going to have to suffice for a bit longer.   There is no arguing that the iPhone is anything but great.  Third-party applications would make it so much better though.

For now, I have to be patient.  Third-party applications are coming.  The rumor wasn’t that the SDK was canceled, just delayed.
