iPhone SDK release date

So the second last Friday of this month is here. With February coming to a close very quickly, Apple is yet to announce the exact release date for the software package that would open up the iPhone and iPod touch to developers. It has been rumored that Apple is holding a secret, yet unannounced event for this matter. Linkin Park was rumored to play at this event. As it turned out, they did play for Apple, but for iTunes Live (expect to see this as a new iTunes Originals in the iTunes Store).

If Apple is indeed holding an event for the SDK release of the mobile devices, then they MUST send out an invitation today, as Apple always sends out invites one week in advance. If we don’t see an invite today, then there won’t be an event, but it is possible that the SDK is still getting released in a press release.

Either way, it’s gonna be cool. The only thing I can predict with a fair certainty is that the SDK will probably require Firmware 1.1.4, and new apps – free or for purchase – will appear in the iTunes Store.

Stay iTuned.
