Apple Drops iPhone Developer NDA On Released Software

  At last! Though it did take them much too long to get around to it, they finally did the right thing.

  I wonder how much the new Android phones and all of the Android buzz in general weighed on this decision. With a competing open platform out there, Apple was clearly at risk of losing developer mindshare and support.

    I agree that it's probably a factor in the decision, but the approval process is probably a greater concern to developers.

  I saw this comment about the timing of the NDA-drop on slashdot. I'm figured I'd cross-post it here, even though it isn't mine. Don't mod me up. :) http://mobile.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=982211&cid=25221937 http://mobile.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=982211&cid=25... "They wanted to wait for the Android release so the API could not legally borrow too heavily from the iPhone API. At least, that seems like a reasonable guess..."
