Apple to open iPhone to 3rd party developers with release of Leopard?
Posted by Dusan on Monday, October 8th, 2007 at 6:30 am under Rumors, iPhone, Apple, Applications
There are rumors going around the web that the totally irrelevant release of Leopard might also give way to the iPhone being opened up to 3rd-party developers for new applications. Apparently, Apple will not fully open its iPhone platform to all the developers, but at least initially, to the major software companies. The rumor further suggests EA is already on board and that they will port the existing line of iPod games to the new platform.
The way I see it, Leopard is an important step forward for Mac OS, hence the new core and apps may also influence or directly change parts of the Mac OS code in the iPhone. In addition, existing iPod game publishers certainly want to jump into new Mac OS based iPods, so why not open the platform for them?
As always, it’s still too early to make any conclusions, and at this stage we can only hope Apple does think the way its users do — that we DO want more native apps!

[…] Leopard is coming this month and will reportedly include the “Notes” application which does just as its name says — allows you take take various notes. The thing that interest us is how will the release of Leopard change the iPhone. Apparently, the new “Notes” application will sync with the iPhone’s Notes. Although, we have less than few weeks till the actual release of Leopard, we can’t confirm anything at the moment. Sure enough, iPhone’s Notes app doesn’t sync with anything and adding that feature certainly increases its usefulness tremendously. Hopefully we’ll some other iPhone updates as well. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for the 3rd party apps support… […]
