Comments on: iPhone SDK, not quite http://mrblog.org/2008/03/11/iphone-sdk-not-quite/ Mr Blog. Very technical, or silly, sometimes absurd.

People that have the SDK right now and have been also accepted into the $99/year iPhone Developer program can build and run apps on the iPhone right now. If you have not been accepted into the paid Developer program (or you haven't applied) then you can still write and test applications but you run those apps in the emulator environment and not on the iPhone itself. The iPhone SDK is fantastic and I've been coding in it since the day it was released, however because so many iPhone developers are under SDK you don't see a lot of "positive" blog viewpoints (because they can't talk about it) and instead you read all the negative stuff from people who aren't actually using it. From the developers I know, all the ones that are working with the SDK currently are extremely satisfied and think it's a great way to get apps on the iPhone. When the App Store launches with the 2.0 OS update in June, you'll see just how many apps are being worked on at the moment. No, your understanding is incorrect.
