iPhone Application Key Leaked

Posted by kdawson on from the sign-early-and-often dept.

HighWizard writes with word from Engadget that the iPhone SDK Key has been leaked early. "We're not exactly sure how this all went down, but we trust Erica Sadun over at TUAW when she says that it appears that the iPhone's SDK key — which will probably be required by all 'official' third-party apps — has been leaked. Two different sites currently have the key posted, but it's all just for show until next month, when the SDK hits for real — and the code is undoubtedly changed."

    I wish I cared, I tried extra hard but still nothing.

    If I want a phone I can modify I should buy a phone that allows it.

    Is the iPhone sleek and sexy? Of course, but so are a host of supermodels that I would not want to get into a 2 hour conversation with let alone a 2 yr relationship.

    I feel the same way about the iPhone, I'd like to play with one for a little while, but thats about it.

    We're not exactly sure how this all went down, but we trust Erica Sadun over at TUAW when she says that it appears that the iPhone's SDK key -- which will probably be required by all 'official' third-party apps -- has been leaked. Next month, when the SDK comes out, apparently this key may or may not work. Fantastic!

    Here's another SDK key that was apparently discovered on a blog so is probably true:

    "It's true, a blog confirms it!"

    They're only sewing the seeds of their own destruction by introducing more restrictions to developers.

    ... which is ironic knowing the vendor lock-in Apple does.

    Yeah, total lock-in. I just wish that, when the time comes that I start to feel the lock-in, it would be possible to install Windows XP, or Vista, or one of those many x86 Linux distros on my MacBook. Oh wait, I can install any one of those. I could even run all of them at the same time along with Mac OS X and run any application I feel like.

    Dang Apple and their lock-in.
