2008 WWDC Apple Keynote Highlights
Apple CEO Steve Jobs kicked off Apple's WWDC Keynote highlighting 147 sessions on developing for Apple products, 62 of those sessions on the iPhone, with 169 hands-on labs. After announcing over 250,000 developers downloading the free SDK and 25,000 purchasing the developers license, Jobs went into the iPhone 2.0 features.
The iPhone isn't just for Mac businesses anymore, The iPhone can now integrate with Enterprise applications, ie. Microsoft Outlook and iCal, as well as "push" technology, which can easily be described as synchronization to multiple devices allowing users to synchronize their email, contacts, calendar, etc. With increased security and implementation of the push technology, the iPhone can now be used as a secure and viable Enterprise solution.
Scott Forstall discussed allowing developers to build iPhone applications the same way that Apple does, using the same kernel as Mac OS X and Core Services layer, development couldn't be any easier. If you're already developing applications for the Mac the iPhone won't be much different.
Included in the SDK now is XCode, Interface Builder, iPhone Simulator, Tethered Debugging, and Instruments. With so much power in this SDK, iPhone applications should blow iPhone users out of the water.
Be sure to check out Apple's WWDC Keynote for Scott Forstall's demonstration of these iPhone SDK tools as well as some of the amazing demonstrations from other development companies.
Some of the new features included in the iPhone 2.0 update are Parental Controls and 16 new languages including Japanese and Chinese.
iPhone 2.0 Software Update - Early July
As the Keynote went on Jobs mentioned the iPhone App Store and MobileMe.
What really got us excited here at iPhoneMinds was the announcement of the 3G iPhone, which can only be purchased and activated in stores July 11th. The 8GB 3G iPhone will cost you 199.99 while the 16GB 3G iPhone will cost you 299.99, the new iPhones also include GPS.
