I read this to mean that the API for the Apple Touch Devices (iphone & ipod touch) is still maturing. They are still working out API breaking changes (like adding cut and paste for example). And they aren't tying themselves down to the idea of backwards compatibility.<br><br>I would put money on that in 18 ~ 24 months (maybe sooner) Apple developers (specifically their software architects) will rubber stamp an API as stable for publication and shortly after that some kind of official SDK will be released. The definitely wouldn't want to do something like that until they were VERY comfortable with the idea of chaining the weight of backwards compatibility onto their development team! <br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Josh]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 12th 2007 1:54PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Apple backtracks, updates will "most likely break" 3rd party iPhone software]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/09/12/apple-backtracks-updates-will-most-likely-break-3rd-party-iph/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/09/12/apple-backtracks-updates-will-most-likely-break-3rd-party-iph/</guid><description><![CDATA[Given that apple hasn't released (to my knowledge,) an SDK for the iPhone and the way people have been hacking on it to get apps to run, no one should be up in arms about a F/W update breaking apps.  This was inevitable.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Randy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 12th 2007 1:56PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
