iPhone users have been anxiously awaiting the debut of a software development kit (SDK) for the uber smartphone since last fall when Apple CEO Steve Jobs first confirmed rumors of a planned February 2008 SDK release.

As developers eagerly download the iPhone SDK, is the gloss beginning to rub off? Robert Balousek spotted a potentially app-upsetting clause in the software's documentation regarding third-party apps and background processes. It seems Apple is concerned that iPhone users might feel some of the molasses drag that Windows Mobile handsets experience when there are too many programs running in the background; rather than deal with that as creatively as they've managed the rest of the SDK, though, they've issued a blanket ban on any third-party software running when not the in-focus app. That means - no matter whether IM client, image editor or game - the program has to quit.

The question is just how open CEO Steve Jobs will make the iPhone. Initially, for the sake of security and consistency, he only allowed developers to create Web-based programs for the iPhone. But he later announced plans for a SDK, or software developer's kit. The SDK was due last month. San Francisco Chronicle - CA, USA
