Of course, Apple executives may change their priorities when they see how many developers are interested in a tool like Chameleon. Many people have speculated that the popularity of the Jailbreak SDK accelerated the release of the original iPhone SDK. It would be great if history repeated itself.
Great, so they're trying to position themselves to take credit for what may be inevitable.
- ugh 16y agoAren’t you way too cynical?
- pohl 16y agoI guess i should say: Chameleon looks great, and I applaud their work. I just pulled the only quotation that peeved me. In regards to your question, cynicism involves a belief about someone's motivations, and I'm only going off of what they have put in black & white: that it would be so awesome if they were able to repeat the most spectacularly dubious credit-taking in iPhone history. I realize that those 4 months between the availability of the first iPhone and the announcement of the official SDK were agonizing and suspenseful, but I don't believe for a second that the most notoriously secretive tech company didn't already have an SDK in the works. If I were iconfactory, I wouldn't labor to connect myself with that event.
