From the freshly creased pages of Apple Website:
We want native third party applications on the iPhone, and we plan to have an SDK in developers’ hands in February. We are excited about creating a vibrant third party developer community around the iPhone and enabling hundreds of new applications for our users. With our revolutionary multi-touch interface, powerful hardware and advanced software architecture, we believe we have created the best mobile platform ever for developers.
This was of course inevitable but it is no coincidence that this announcement was made after the announced release of Leopard. The iphone and itouch are Leopard based and they are happy with the progress made and can now turn their attention to this issue.
