Apple to release iPhone Development Kit

In a somewhat interesting turn, Apple, Inc. have decided to release a development kit for the iPhone and iPod Touch. BusinessWeek has some coverage of this.

I'm happy about this, because I think that the more open a device is, the more attractive it is. I don't think this will help with Apple's not-quite-complete Bluetooth stack (as I said earlier-- it doesn't have HID (keyboard) voice activated dialing support), and that's probably a deal killer for me.

So I'll likely be sticking with BlackBerry, but seriously considering upgrading to the 8800 series.
