Apple’s announcement that it will release a software development kit for the iPhone in February will, in effect, turn the communications device into a smartphone, iPhone into a smartphone, Joseph Palenchar writes in a TWICE article.
The plan reverses Apple’s previous announcement that only third-party Web 2.0-based applications, which reside on the Web, would be allowed to run on the iPhone, he says. At the time, Apple contended that Web 2.0 apps “look and behave just like the applications built into iPhone” and opening up the phone to native applications would make it vulnerable to viruses, malware, and privacy attacks.
