Steve Jobs announced the SDK for iphone today giving third parties the tools they need to design software for the iphone.
The iphone will by next update support Microsoft Exchange and push email, push calenders etc. That one advantage that RIM devices had has now vanished.
Also announced, Sega is working with Apple to bring a full version of Monkeyball (from the Dreamcast) to the iphone and EA demoed SPORE on the iphone as well. Both games take advantage of the accelerometer in the phone allowing control by moving the phone in space.
Also, both games are full versions, not stripped down versions for phones.
Also, a $100 million venture fund has been set up for developers looking to design for the iphone set up by some Silicon Valley and Wallstreet types.
