Apple Will Unlock the iPhone
Remember those hacked iPhones that became expensive paperweights when Apple sent out an update? And tons of users who had installed unofficial software on their iPhones found the gadgets useless? That’s going to be a non-issue soon. In fact, Apple appears to have done a complete about face on their stance that no one should “hack” the product, announcing that they will open the iPhone to third party developers.
In February, the company will release a “software development kit” to third party developers that will allow for the creation of applications that will work on the iPhone. Apple, who had been heavily criticized for keeping the phone locked to outside developers, believes the move will only encourage a more vibrant iPhone community and help them sell more of them.
Another major gripe users have had–that the iPhone is only able to be used with AT&T’s wireless service–goes unanswered: the iPhone will continue to be AT&T-only…for now.
