iPhone Developer's Kit at WWDC?
The New York Times reports on the upcoming iPhone. They mention Steve Jobs' comments last week that 3rd party application development for the iPhone was in the works, but also cites sources that Apple will be unveiling a method for developers to port Mac apps to the iPhone:
Apple's developer conference (WWDC) kicks off next week on June 11th with a keynote speech. We will be providing live coverage at MacRumorsLive.com.
A person briefed on Apples plans said that at its software developer conference this month, Apple intends to announce that it will make it possible for developers of small programs written for the Macintosh to easily convert them to run on the iPhone.

I think the next rumour should be along the lines of "5 new Mac Rumors posts without a question mark in the title?".
Maybe some day...

That is one sure way to increase the base of mac applications to a wider audience. This is going to get the small mac developers salivating!!
I hope WWDC does not become "developing for iPhone" session though.

The more content on the iPhone the more widespread it will become. If it is easy for anyone to build applications for it then i expect it to skyrocket. So much better than a closed system, if i need something on my phone i can write it, brilliant.
Versiontracker will need a new tab.

The iPhone is going to be a part of WWDC but Leopard and new hardware will be the meat & potatoes.

Why do I get the feeling that when the person said "small programs written for the Macintosh" what he was really referring to was something akin to (or exactly like) "Dashboard Widgets".

I don't think that they will be able to develop for the iPhone until either next year or version 2, which ever comes first.:)

Ha, if it does become a "developing for iPhone" session will anyone even notice Leopard has been delayed another six months?
