We love Steve, no seriously, we do – iPhone Third party apps allowed!

Apple – Hot News - Steve didn’t let us down, we knew he’d do it. The pressure to have applications other than Apple one’s on the iPhone was an unstoppable tide and the constant policing to keep iPhones and Touches unhacked was bound to end.  Now we know that developers will be able to freely develop software for the iPhone and iPod Touch.  There will be no end to the cool software and applications this will mean for us all.  Personally I’d like to see a Filemaker database app that seamlessly integrates with my office Filemaker and is as easy to develop screens for as Filemaker normally is.  After that, just surprise me developers, just surprise me….
I would expect this to mean that the calendar app will allow edits and the mail client will be permitted. There’s no point in letting third parties try and do this for the Touch when Apple already have them. I’d like to see a “flick” game using the flicking feature of the touchscreen. Subbuteo?
