Apple’s iPhone SDK: curiouser and curiouser E-mail

It seems clear that Apple will do its utmost to safeguard the iPhone and its users, ensuring software is up to standard and won’t cause problems with memory, security or (hopefully) anything else.

Steve Jobs spoke of this when first announcing an SDK would arrive in February 2008, and also alluded to Nokia’s model of requiring apps to be ‘signed’ before becoming installable.

Given that only a very small number of viruses and malware have appeared on phones and handheld devices, unlike the tsunami of terrifying malware for Windows PCs, it’s important to try and nip the malware menace in the bud lest our expensive handheld devices and phones become expensive bricks.

Exactly what Steve Jobs announces on March 6 will inevitably the subject of much discussion for days, if not weeks, thereafter, as will his efforts to keep his handhelds malware-free.

There are still plenty of questions, existing restrictions and missing features.

Let’s hope March 6 delivers a powerful SDK with all the answers we’ve all been waiting for, so we can join Alice - and Apple - in an even more exiting iPhone Wonderland.
