And I’m shocked to say, it was totally worth the wait. This is exciting as hell— Apple really seems to have listed to the developers and gone all out on a professional, robust SDK and platform upgrade to really make it attractive to customers and developers alike. What I’m most pleased to hear is how they’ve gone with a very Microsoft XNA-like route in giving developers a free SDK to develop with, very inexpensive licensing terms ($99 for freeware/hobbyist and lower end commercials apps), and implementing an onboard applications store. Plus, freeware apps can remain freeware; great news.
I wont go over all the details you’ve undoubtedly seen fifteen times in your RSS reader this morning, so I’ll just link those of you who aren’t up to speed to the Engadget coverage. Likewise, those of the programming percsuation might want to head on over to the Apple Developer Connect and grab yourself a copy of the free SDK.
