I totally understand.  In the flurry of it all we've all forgotten what you remembered: Apple never said anything to the point of "No SDK. Ever."<p>Aside from Jobs' WWDC 2007 address there were rumors and signals that "web was all you're gonna get"[1][2], but obviously they planned an SDK that eventually was announced 9 months after the reveal.  Or developer pressure convinced the staff to polish the internal tools and APIs for public use?   I'm kind of sad that with the new secretive Apple, we'll never know the full story behind the scenes for a long long time to come.<p>[1] <a href="http://theappleblog.com/2007/06/11/tab-wwdc-2007-live-coverage/" rel="nofollow">http://theappleblog.com/2007/06/11/tab-wwdc-2007-live-covera...</a><p>[2] <a href="http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2007/10/source-iphone-sdk-will-remain-web-based-for-the-foreseeable-future.ars" rel="nofollow">http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2007/10/source-iphone-sdk-...</a>
