iPhone’s OS won’t be opened for third party apps
The Gizmodo Guys have given us the scoop on the oh-so-interesting OSX operating system that the iPhone boasts to have..
The most depressing piece of news? iPhone’s OS isn’t the real OSX, but a closed version that probably won’t allow third-party apps. We can just hope they’ll change their minds. If not, there are always some ways to develop for the iPhone: Dashboard widgets, full-javascript web apps, etc.
The OS: It isn’t OS X proper, as you’d expect. And like an iPod, it won’t be an open system that people can develop for. Remember, this is both an iPod and a Phone.
Music Store Access: None planned, as of yet.
Screen is the same polycarb as the iPod, with a touch element over it.
Accessories: Remember, this has an iPod dock connector, so many accessories will be fwd compat.
