Apple Updates iPhone SDK with Interface Builder
Apple released a new version of the free iPhone Software Development Kit (SDK) which now includes Interface Builder.
Interface Builder is a tool for developers to visually create their user interface:
Interface Builder makes creating an application's user interface easier by allowing developers to use its graphical editing environment to manage virtually every aspect of creating a well designed user interface that adheres to the Aqua user interface guidelines.
Apple released the first version of the iPhone SDK on March 6th. The SDK allows developers to create their own applications which will first become available to the general public in late June 2008.

More guidelines? Theyre sooooo controlling!
How is this controlling? They offer an "Easy to use" thing that you CAN use if you want and it's controlling?
More like they're offering an easier way to code an interface to allow more developers novice and pro alike to rapidly and easily create tools for iPhone. I fail to see how this is controlling.
The OSX HID guidelines were in place way before this tool was released.
Edit: Besides, guidelines (when referring to them) are just that GUIDELINES, not actual rules. It's like the Pirate Code :D (ba-dum pishhhh)

You didn't have the Cocoa Touch widgets though.

Apple rarely conforms to its own HI guidelines these days, why should anyone else?
