Apple has released the fifth beta version of the iPhone SDK which includes Xcode IDE, iPhone simulator with Open GL ES support, Interface Builder, Instruments, frameworks and samples, compilers, and Shark analysis tool.
During Apple’s Q2 08 conference call on April 23, CFO Peter Oppenheimer said that the SDK has already been downloaded 200,000 times and is currently being used in one-third of the Fortune 500 companies to develop applications for the iPhone/iPod touch.

A question arises. Will Apple soon announce a combined download for these two betas?

Yesterday I sat down to watch the iPhone Software Roadmap video to see what other gems were hidden within it. I discovered a few interesting things, but what really hit home is the SDK means the iPhone now has no direct competitors.

As we have the iTunes Store for music and movies, the iPhone will have its own store named “AppStore”. iPhone owners will be able to buy and/or download application directly from the handheld.
No doubt that the AppStore should generate substantial revenue for Apple, there will be no other way to obtain iPhone application. Apple will take care of everything, and will pay 70% back to the developers. For iPhone freeware, Apple will distribute them for free on the AppStore.
For developers, the iPhone and its SDK might well be the new heaven as the Palm was more than 10 years ago. John Doerr, from KPCB funds, claims to have already secured 100 millions USD to be invested support developers for creating iPhone applications. This will for sure have an impact on Apple shares, as well as the overall perception by the analysts of the iPhone SDK and its business model.
The iPhone SDK appears to be complete, in summary it is a revised Xcode, packed with iPhone-dedicated API, including the usual Xcode development environment: interface builder, APIs, graphic and code libraries, and even a Mac application allowing you to debug your iPhone application without having an iPhone! The iPhone OS seems to be an entire OS, not a strange or quick and dirty port of a desktop computer OS. Developers will be able to develop all kind of application, from 3D games to consumer and Pro-oriented applications.

If you are still waiting around for the iPhone SDK, chances are, you won’t be waiting much longer. Steve Jobs said in October 2007 that the SDK would be released in February 2008; which only has about 2 weeks left! According to MacRumors, tiny-code.com, which is an online repository for Installer.app, has leaked a bit of information about iPhone firmware 1.1.4 and the iPhone SDK.
According to the Tiny Code website, “Tiny Code no longer produces fixes or applications for firmware 1.1.3. We can’t say much, but we are working with Apple and with their SDK for the next firmware release and SDK applications and we shouldn’t be missed for long. We will no longer update our Installer.app repo for legality reasons and you should see us soon on iTunes.”
