If i were apple i would do the same thing. keep my options open. they have said: no kit...for now. I know people are dying to develop for it, but apple NEVER said that the iphone would be for developers or 3rd party apps. i would love it as much as anyone if they opened it up, but its their device. you modify it at your own risk. simple as that.
The simple reason that the iphone software is being significantly modified with every update now. Its sill in development at apple and is a moving target for potential developers. Its very possible that they will allow developers at some point but are aware that any applications written now will likely be broken after the next update.
