iPhone SDK May Be 1-3 Weeks Late

Posted by kdawson on from the say-it-ain't-so dept.

tuxeater123 writes "According to a blog posting at BusinessWeek.com, the iPhone SDK could be pushed back by another 1-3 weeks. Unfortunately, the evidence provided, such as the media announcements that are usually made before most Apple releases, suggests that this may indeed be true. Apple usually sticks to their announced deadlines, however they have been known to break them occasionally."

    I'm devastated by this. It makes my entire life valueless. How could a company like Apple even think about delaying a software release by almost a month. Oh, woe, woe is me. etc etc etc

    Slashdot article summaries usually are shock full of valuable comment, however they have been known to be totally pointless.

    I'll be able to get real work done for an extra 1-3 weeks before I starting hacking my phone.

    I agree fully with wamerocity. In the total absence of any facts, I prefer to speculate wildly that Apple will do the worst possible thing, darn them.

    I would also like to add an incisive, pointed automobile analogy to this. It's as if Apple gave us a Ferrari and demanded that we take it apart, piece by piece and ship each part to ourselves by Fedex. Then put a Yugo engine in it. Or whatever. Apple bad.
