iPhone SDK is out

Due Credit: News.com
After much ado about it, Apple has come out with the beta of the iPhone SDK in a move that is being seen as Apple's bid to make inroads into the Enterprise.

Having been a totally consumer oriented company, the move is corporate appeasement is closely being watched and there are several announcements that are as such not much clear.

What is known as of now is that the SDK will be available to developers to download for free but if they want to market their software through App Store ( which is the only way to legally sell iPhone applications by the way), a one time fee of $99 has to be paid. And ofcourse a percentage of the sales goes to Apple as well.


Apple will be the sole distributing authority for iPhone applications and developers indulging in unfair applications deployment will have their accounts erased.

The question is whether the new model will gain Apple some share in the corporate world, perhaps providing a relief from the BlackBerry offerings.

Zumobi, the firm that licenses technology from Microsoft research has found out a novel way to bring in advertising and also to enhance user search experience over the web.

Browsing from the mobile phone is gaining traction but the traditional methods are not exactly best for the right experience. With a limited screen size and bandwidth, research is required in the area of alternative user experiences for the mobile internet.

Zumobi's technology consists of presenting the web to the user in the form of 'tiles' that are the sites that the user has selected. New services are added as new tiles and users can also program and share tiles across mobiles.

The tiles carry on them the advertisements, hence keeping away a lot of clutter from the browsing experience. The SDK for software development is available for free and can be downloaded at Zumobi's website.
