iPhone Application Key Leaked

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."

Does It Really Matter?

[Anonymous Coward]

Has anyone ACTUALLY seen someone in REAL LIFE with an iPhone?

I am surrounded by people who use Windows, Macs, and Linux and have huge amounts of disposable income they love to spend of giant HD TVs, computers, game consoles, and pretty much anything electronic and remotely interesting.

Not a single person I know has an iPhone, wants an iPhone, or expressed any interest in the product whatsoever.

And out in the street, at bars and restaurants, and the variety of high tech companies I've been to I have yet to actually see an iPhone. Obviously there are people who have bought the phone and most likely spend nights cradling it in their arms knowing their life is now complete.

Other than something the emo demographic buys to sit with at coffee shops hoping emo members of the opposite sex notice them using their iPhone and realize how special they are, who they hell would want this product? It basically looks like nothing more than a crappy phone with a gigantic marketing budget.

i guess it's not a total hunk of junk on it's own, but it's not providing anything other smart phones haven't had for atleast 12 months prior, when combined with the terrible contract you have to be on i'd say it's a piece of crap for sure.
