iPhone Closed To Developers
The iPhone launch, as pretty much everything coming from Apple, created a lot of excitement. I am not going to go over the benefits, feature set etc. You can find it on the Apple site Apple site. Wikipedia also provides a good overview.
What is interesting to developers is that Apple called iPhone a “closed platform” which indicates that there will not be a public API. However interested parties can call Apple developer relations for more information. iPhone runs a stripped down version of OS X and it is certainly capable of running 3rd party applications. “Inside the iPhone: Third Party Software” offers a good discussion on the topic.
It appears that the iPhone will support 3rd party applications but only from partners approved by Apple. It certainly makes it more difficult for developers.
