Steve Jobs, in a message released this afternoon on the Apple website says the company will quit fighting 3rd party apps on the iPhone.
<blockquote>Let me just say it: We want native third party applications on the iPhone, and we plan to have an SDK in developers’ hands in February. We are excited about creating a vibrant third party developer community around the iPhone and enabling hundreds of new applications for our users.</blockquote>
The full story can be found <a href=http://www.apple.com/hotnews/>here</a>, but to summarize and cut through the hype, the caveat is that Apple is looking to control what applications are released in a method similar to Nokia's where everything needs <s>Steve's blessing</s> a valid signature to run. Wait a few months and we'll see where this goes.
