208 AnonymousBetter docs are needed. the API stuff is fine, but the other stuff from apple seems more propaganda than direction. Sorry, but 'creating an iphone application' doc should be more than pressing a compile me button.
209 AnonymousThe iPhone SDK NDA may have made some sense during the beta program, but not that that's over, what's the point. Anyone who wants can go download the SDK free of charge, so there's hardly any information there worth protecting, and support for a platform is built around the community developing for it. By keeping this NDA in place, you are preventing such a community from forming, and thus harming the reputation of the platform. I would really like to spend time developing for the iPhone, and I believe it's a great platform, but I don't believe it's worth the trouble if I'm going to spend time resolving problems that I should be able to find the solution to through a 30 second search.

212 Patrick HughesThe NDA frustrates my attempts to make great iPhone software.
213 Fabio EsquivelJust think of how M$'s Visualbasic (awful BTW) or Borland's Delphi came to be so popular worldwide... Knowledge is freedom; let developers share it and enhance the user experience with more stable & productive applications! Let us beat RIM's & Windows Mobile domain on portable apps, please!!

216 Ashwin BharambePlease, please do.
217 Frank DiZoglioI have had an iPone for almost a year. I have had it jailbroken with many apps and it never crashed. Apple has done a poor job with the 2.0 firmware and now my phone crashes all the time with the Apple approved apps. I would rather have the jailbroken apps that work than approved apps that crash The only way to stop people from jailbreaking is to lift the DA so that developers can help each other create apps that don't crash.

222 tim pfannesSeriously, why???? We are trying to develop an application exclusive to your platform and you are hampering the process.
223 Daniel Cavanaghclearly pointless now, and very hurtful to everyone
224 David Foster PhDCooperation and collaboration will greatly improve the overall quality of iPhone applications. The benefit will far out-balance whatever the current secrecy provides (err, it does provide something, doesn't it?)

227 Rick AshfordIt's silly to prevent folks from working together to make you more money. Lift the NDA.
228 AnonymousUntil you lift the NDA on the iPhone SDK I will not purchase your product or write code for it. We want to use it within our company using so inhouse written apps but with the NDA in place, we won't.

235 AnonymousThere is no point starting to learn the iPhone development environment until the community support is opened up by way of books, blogs and mailing lists. I'm waiting.

239 Steven LawsonI am new to Apple development. The ability to buy a decent book on iPhone development and to join forums would help me get up to speed and produce applications.

248 Daniel DeLeoI'm not even an iPhone developer, but my own experiences with software development and systems administration have shown that sharing information makes everyone more efficient; that means better iPhone apps for me with less hassle for the developers.
249 AnonymousAgreed. Be free, be OPEN!
