Apple's iPhone SDK Press Conference


Recommended Posts

"In just a few months..." MONTHS! "every iPhone user will get what they saw today. But there's another part to this as well: the iPod touch. Everything will run on the iPod touch as well, including enterprise features. We account for the touch differently than we do for the iPhone so there will be a nominal charge for the touch."

I'd give them time to have all these things working perfectly, I'll even be surprised if there is no delay.

However it seems like Apple is at a stance in the mobile market just as Microsoft is in the early desktop market?

However the share prices are still falling, who the hell own the the rest of these stocks and are selling?

another extra charge for touch users? lame

iPod touch users aren't paying a monthly fee to AT&T which in turn gives Apple more money... Of course they're going to charge touch users a small fee. I can't imagine it will be more than $10-$20, which is a small price to pay for such a significant upgrade. Can't wait to finally get some of these sweet apps on my iPhone!

A June release would suit me just fine as by then the SDK will be fully underway and apps will be busting out at the seams. A new iPhone with 3G will be released and the rest of the mobile manufacturing world will put pen to paper yet again.

I understand that but it seems like this huge build up and then you got to wait an extra 3 months

This had been rumored to happen for some time now though. It really isn't that big of a deal considering there's still a beta for the SDK coming out today.

and youll pay again for each of those Sweet apps

    • It's time to say goodbye to Edge and switch back to Firefox. There's no way to disable the ugly rounded corners that appear everywhere. Not even on the page frame. No one uses screens with rounded corners, you idiots.

    • Gen Atlas is the next game from Shadow of the Colossus creator, this time with giant robots by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The mind behind widely well-received games like Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, and The Last Guardian, Fumito Ueda, showed up at Summer Game Fest today, and that was to reveal his latest project. Being developed by genDESIGN, Gen Atlas is incoming with what looks to be plenty of mech and robot action. Watch the reveal trailer, which makes not much sense, above. The game will have players waking up on an abandoned planet where deserted facilities and grand designs from the original creators remain. Soon, they will stumble upon a colossal robot, from which players gain access to the power to change the world. "Across an endless expanse of time, the remnants of those forgotten constructs begin to move once more," adds the studio. The gameplay snippets seen in the trailer show the player character climbing giant robots (as expected from the creator), while also controlling these titans somehow as well. This is a fully single-player open-world adventure. “The team and I are grateful to all the fans who’ve been eager to learn more about our game,” says Fumito Ueda, CEO and creative director of genDESIGN. “Their passion and enthusiasm has always motivated and inspired us. We hope to share an experience that inspires moments of quiet wonder and discovery.” Before gaining the name Gen Atlas, Ueda first announced this project back in 2024 with the codename Project Robot. Interestingly, this will be a project being funded and published by Epic Games, which should mean that a Steam release is out of the question. Gen Atlas will be releasing on Epic Games Store, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced just yet.
    • How backwards can you have it? Yes, Linux was gaining because of Linux handhelds and the push for gaming compatibility, but that's not desktop users, it barely converts anyone who owns a SteamDeck, though it helps for those who wanted to do it, but anyways, the AI+RAM debacle helped Linux because people can't easily upgrade their PCs easily and many hate AI so they'd be incentivized to try Linux.
