everyone keeps saying jobs/apple changed their mind about the sdk. i don't believe it. i think it's that they knew they are in entirely uncharted territory here, and they wanted to take the time to do it right. and apple typically never pre-announces anything, so it wouldn't be like them to say "we're working on an sdk, it'll be ready in a year."
they pre-announced the iphone itself, but that was due to fcc issues. if they hadn't done that, the world would have known anyway, due to the paperwork they had to file.
