With an official Appple announcement coming next week, iPhone SDK news rumors are flying.
iPhone Lounge is rumoring the following details:
- iTunes Store as hub: iPhone applications will apparently be released through the iTunes store. This is the same as iPod applications are handled currently. There is no surprise here.
- Apple as application picker: Apple is might be very restrictive when it comes to quality control. Rumor has it that they are going to formally approve or deny every application. They will only publish approved apps. This, of course, is a slam to independent publishers. It is honestly not much of a surprise however, iPhone applications have been handled this way for years.
- No accessory connectivity: What this mean is that 3rd party add-ons, like GPS or expanded Bluetooth support, will be almost non-existent. The SDK will support the onbord devices and applications (camera etc), but you shouldn’t be expecting anything new anytime soon.
With the announcement only a few days away, the road map will become clear, and hopefully these rumors can get cleared up as soon as possible. As soon as I here more, I will let you know.
