I wonder if we’ll see Flash at some point. My understanding was that the issue was Flash’s default video encoder being incompatible with the chip in the iPhone. Now Adobe has gone with H.264. Of course, there may be the issue of Apple (or even AT&T) not wanting to cut into their profits by paying a license fee for Flash Lite, to say nothing of the additional support work needed.

So, why didn’t Apple just say an SDK was planned for the future in the first place, instead of giving us that weird “here’s the good news, we’re going to let you develop web apps” speech from a few months ago?

Good news, though. Beyond this, I hope Apple considers developing its own portable, multi-touch, musicmaking-specific devices.

I feel like Apple’s use of multitouch on the iPhone is disappointingly limited so it is gonna be fantastic to see outside developers let loose with it.

One thing, in his note Steve praises Nokia’s signed 3rd party app system because of its security but he doesn’t mention you can still put unsigned apps on the Nokia. No way that’s happening with the iPhone. It is going to be iTunes all the way.

@Peter: I thought that, too, but now Sprint is saying GPS-enabled. Not that I care that much for $99. Maybe they mean dongles.
