Apple’s iPhone Software Roadmap to unveil iPhone SDK in beta form?

Wouldn’t it be nice if Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) would just be a little more forthcoming about their future device plans? Heck, it’d be nice if Apple would be a little more clear on exactly what their press events will reveal. Wishful thinking, I guess.

Dusan already mentioned that Apple is planning to hold an “iPhone Software Roadmap” press event on March 6th, and that the release of the long-awaited iPhone SDK is imminent. But, word on the street has it that the iPhone SDK could be released in beta form. The speculation comes from an unlikely source - SetteB.it - but that doesn’t mean the rumor doesn’t hold water.

Macrumors reports that those people that have seen early versions of the iPhone SDK allege that the software only offers the “bare essentials.” The evidence suggests that Apple could be dropping a beta version of the iPhone SDK next week to appease Apple fans that are upset over the SDK’s delay. A final iPhone SDK could be announced at Apple’s Worldwide Developer’s Conference (WWDC), possibly in June.

For what it’s worth, we’re all keeping out fingers crossed for a final iPhone SDK on March 6th.
