Apple Who said community pressure doesn't work with big companies? Apple has announced in a note titled "To Our Developers" that it has removed the non-disclosure agreement for iPhone developers, stating it placed "too much of a burden" on iPhone developers. The NDA was one of the two major problem points among iPhone developers, so the community has responded in a way that can only be described as rejoicing.

This should have been the case from day 1.

What still troubles me is that Apple actually thought that they could maintain the iphone sdk under NDA indefinitely and expect people to work with them (and people have so far). The fact that they work this way indicates that every time they release a product they will have to be dragged kicking and screaming into the open. Hopefully they will be better next time (I'm not that hopeful).

On the bright side now:
Expect a brickload of iphone sdk related articles at your local internets soon!
