iPhone SDK Released with Impressive API and Tools
I watched the announcement on Apple's iPhone SDK today and was amazed at the power that developers now have. I couldn't wait to get started trying things out until I found out that the iPhone simulator and IDE are only available on the Mac platform.
I highly recommend watching the full announcement on Apple's Developer Connection page.
Here is a quick summary of the main API features and tools being released:
API Features
- Accelerometer
- Touch
- Multitouch
- Camera
Tools
- iPhone simulator
Simulator that runs on your Mac - Instruments
Live performance analysis statistics to easily find out where your applications can be optimized - Interface Builder
Drag and drop iPhone GUI elements into your project
The next software release of the iPhone will also support Microsoft Exchange, which I depend on everyday. I'm almost convinced it’s time for me to pick up an iPhone and a Mac to start developing for it.
Check out the Apple iPhone Developer Center for more details.
