I'm not sure which I like more about the iPhone SDK - the fact that it is coming (there is little doubt it will extend the functionality of an already legendary integrated device, see prior posts...), or the names of the development companies cited in this eWeek article:
- Delicious Monster
- United Lemur
- Flying Meat
Ah, poor Flying Meat, I knew him well.
I am reminded of the indie rock bands I played in, and the many great names I ran into at the time. My band was, for a short time MonkeySoft. If you are starting a band or development company, feel free to use this name, but only if you agree to make a monkey sound before addressing audience or customer.
Aside from the observation that startups are the indie bands for today's youth, there is one important point to make about the iPhone SDK - "Why did it take so long?"
The other technical limitations of the device, which we've raised before, will require a hardware rev, so this is the biggest bang for buck available to Apple. And it is a fairly big one.
