I'm not supposed to tell you this

But there might be an iPhone SDK heading your way later this month, like sometime in the week of Oct. 15. We've taken a lot of grief on this, and, well, we've listened. Okay? I wish I could say more, but I can't.

You better not be pulling our chain, Fake Steve!

If vaguely true, that would actually be pretty damned cool. The only app that I'd love to see (other than Tasks, Notes synching with outlook/OS X) is the software reader from eReader.com - that's the only thing I really miss from my old Treo.

Being able to read a book in a meeting and still look busy.

I heard you put a demonstration of these apps on youtube as "Magic" earlier on!

I've never before wanted so much for a FSJ post to be a RSJ post.

FSJ,
If that there iPhone is os x based, there's really no reason why the guts could not be locked down tight, to allow 3rd party apps to run on top in a sand box.
Top of my wish list: VOIP. The hell with edge/3g (and paying for it) and all that. Free calls using unlimited WiFi would be the true disruptive technology, at least until the mobiles catch on to it.

You're the CEO and it's "might be"?

Dear fSteve,

All is forgiven.

Lots of love,

Mr. PoopyPants

p.s. I hope you mean it!

Can this be the olive branch of peace that Apple actually intends to offer in order to boost iPhone sales to the next level? Interesting...

Well wilbur, bring on the gosh dang fancy addin machine, we is gonna get us some bitwise operators and some dang fang compiler for our here this fancy puter.

Sheesh, come a week or two we'd be harvestin them binaries ... Call suzie, i am a comin home loaded! yeee hawwwww!

If this is true, expect an investigation into FSJ's other "forward-looking" statements...

Anonymous said...

I love how believably this is worded. I think it is something Apple wants to do. Why announce through FSJ though? Hmmm. Maybe more here than meets the eye. That Hillary post (and I'm a contributor to her campaign) was just so friggin BELIEVABLE!

Actually, I successfully went from 1.1.1 back 1.0.2 but I'd go to x.y.z in a heartbeat even without the SDK if you, Mr FSJ/RSJ, would enable Flash! Have you heard of it?

If you spent the relavent meeting where it was discussed flying on mescaline to escape the droning of the nameless subordinates you'd say "might be" too. :)

Charles said...

Sigh. I wish this were true Fake Steve, but I have a feeling it's fake news from a fake Steve.

Anonymous said...

anonymous,

"might be"!

Even FSJ is a slave of the engineers. He could finish the SDK himself (or ask Woz to do it, hmm, ..., better not), but he is busy with the lawyers.

Justin said...

FSJ, now you're just being mean. On the one hand, a simultaneous Leopard/iPhone SDK release would be, in a word, fucking insane. On the other hand...you're FSJ (emphasis on "F") and, well, our relationship is FOUNDED on a lie. What's a boy supposed to do?

Jay Douglas Carr said...

I stopped believing you when you were wrong about the beatles. Honestly FSJ, where's the trust gone in this relationship, and who's fault is that, eh? I'll forgive you the moment this turns out to be true, but I will not be holding my breath!

Will we get a way to put extortion-free ringtones on our phone too?

Steve in FMTX said...

but will this SDK extend to the iPod Touch???

Remember people: this is the Fake Steve blog.

Fake iPhone SDK coming this way soon!

Anonymous said...

Oh goodie...a new version of Safari!!!

Anonymous said...

If this is true, I'll buy 18 copies of oPtions$ and perform public readings.

(Speaking of which, is there going to be an Audiobook edition of Options?)

But I suspect the SDK will really be a Fake SDK, or, for short:

FSDK

Which is very like the Unix command, fsck (file system consistency check) which as every Slashturd knows is a euphemism for a 4 letter word.

This is very appropriate, as when the 1.1.1 update hit, all I said was:

fsdk, fsdk, fsdk.

Mr. PoopyPants said...

An SDK tied to Leopard is not all that unrealistic.

Maybe the SDK requires garbage collection or properties, which are Objective-C 2.0 features, which require XCode 3.0, which requires Leopard.

We shall see...

Anonymous said...

The new SDK will be... HTML!!!

Ha, we already said that... Sorry!

Tom W. said...

If true, I suspect it might just be an iPhone version of Leopards widget maker, which while cool, which still make offline app development rather limited.

Ben said...

Very clever, FSJ. Testing your ability to set off a fanboy fervor. Just google "iphone sdk oct 15" and you'll see how many take your word as law :)

Anonymous said...

This is mean. You are playing with us!

Mike Cane said...

Listen, you, if you don't give out with the SDK, you'll have to move -- to ISRAEL, to have the WHOLE FREAKIN COUNTRY protecting your ass.

There's only so much love we can give while being abused like this.

Really.

Anonymous said...

Looks like the SDK may just be offline storage and home screen icons.

I really hope you've got some inside info here.

Fredrik Gyllensten said...

I want Apple to make their own innstaller app for iPhone, where only apps they have tested and approved can be downloaded.

That will make it safe, fast, simple and fun to download 3rd party apps

faddah said...

the boys over at will probably want a little word with you...

Mike Cane said...

Much Mwah to FSJ!

So, iBook is for real in January? Double Mwah! And a Namaste too!
