Apple not supplying dedicated iPhone SDK

Well to all those who are subtley enraged about not having an iPhone SDK – think about this

Whatever environment Apple would have written for third party apps on the iPhone would’ve required some form of sandbox to set it apart from the rest of the system; after all you wouldn’t have wanted any old pre-built non-sandboxed app sending your phone numbers across the net to some nefarious ne’er-do-well now would you?

At least by using the Safari engine and Ajax, there is something there now to develop on, and I would not be surprised if there is an SDK being brewed as well for those kind of applications that just won’t work well through a web browser
