Fascinating video - watched it for the first time last night.
It seems there is already loads of interest in developign for the platform so we should see some great apps come June.

I will be adding myself to the list of people that have downloaded the SDK, as soon as I get around to it - whenever that is :p
That said, this goes to show just how much interest iPhone users and programmers have in 3rd-party applications for the device. I didn't think it would generate that much interest, to be honest.

On the surface the SDK is great. I've already gotten a few programs up and running and have a lot of ideas for some interesting software. The problem is that the more times I read the EULA the more I think that most of my ideas won't work for various reasons. Owell, hopefully things will change before the final release.

I think I was about #8,746. heh
I'm no master programmer, but I'm sure I can make some $1.99-$4.99 apps people will buy. :)

WOW.....how can anyone not get excited about crappy games like that. Geez, how many times do you have to play pac-man or galaga or bejeweled (tetris) before you s#$% yourself dumb.
Put out some better games.....don't waste time releasing crap that's been around for eons. :rolleyes:

How many iPhones have been sold?
I think I remember it being about 4 million so iPhones sold to SDK downloads is 40:1.
That seems pretty crazy to me.
Seems like June will be a very good month for my iPhone.

The not so good thing though is that there are going to be a lot of competition. The individual developers would have to be really good to go up against the big boys.

100,000 downloads? How many of those are from the same people asking what an SDK is?
Show me 10,000 applications. That do things. Useful things. Then I'll be excited.
