Suspense! Drama! Surprises! Unrealistic expectations! It's always a veritable roller coaster of emotions whenever Apple gets around to cutting a new SDK build -- and without a doubt, iPhone SDK 3.2 beta 4 is no exception. We don't yet have a good read on what's new here, so if you're a member of Apple's $99 dev program and happen to get it downloaded and installed, let us know if you find anything awesome, like an iPhone 4 or iPad 2. Or, you know, anything else. Have fun!
How long before Apple sues book publishers for using specific arrangements of letters to form words which can then be fashioned into sentences to communicate with other people?
@BoozeRob Totally irrelevant to the topic! Troll alert!
Yaye apple updates make me smile (gleeeeee)
@Downpour I agree! Seriously, how hard is it to stay away from something that you claim you hate? Why do you need to spend your precious time and energy to leave a comment on an article about a product and a company that you DON'T care about!
does it add XNA 4 support ???
@FrankJ
Ice cubes can make you a shelter in a blizzard, its called an igloo.
South Indians (Dravidians) can have Afroid hair, so the hair pick might be useful there.
Sorry I don't know who "Eteve Jobs" is to comment on that.
I thought this post was about the Apple's SDK, NOT whether or not the iPad will sell.
So.. this is a dumb thought, why can't someone make a clip on camera that could be roated to face the front or back. Interface the iPad via bluetooth or dock connector? Didn't I read somewhere that there as something in the previous SDK that could operate a camera?
@Tryptic Because a camera will be included in a 2nd-generation device, so half the people will buy a new device, half the people will bitch about stupid Apple, releasing new hardware and tempting them to upgrade.
(hey, Panasonic, ship me a new CCD sensor for my camera, I don't want to buy the new model)
@Tryptic From the Release Notes:
Launching the Photos application under the iPad Simulator will initially show three tabs: Photos, Albums, and Camera. The Camera tab represents photos available via the Camera Connection Kit for iPad, and is not relevant for the Simulator. The Camera tab will disappear after a few seconds.
Shouldn't Apple pay us to develop Apps for them? I mean they get a cut of what Apps make on the App store and they get $99 from The developer up front.
@Jaylittles531
That's why you are not a CEO of company.
@Jaylittles531
You get 70% of sales.
You're an idiot.
@Wesscoast
So you if you 70% of sales and pay $99 for the Dev. Say you sell your App for $0.99 that means you make 0.69 per App you sell. That means you have to sell 144 just to make a profit from Apple. Not to mention how much the program cost you paid to make it with, time, people, etc.... Learn how business works.
@Jaylittles531
"That means you have to sell 144 just to make a profit from Apple. "
You need learn what "business" word means.
Why is this breaking, and not HP Slate's Flash Support?
And 3.2 Beta 4? I guess 4.0 will come out next year instead.
@AlexSanchez
Why would flash support on the HP slate be breaking news, troll?
It's not like we didn't know it already supported flash since, um, it runs a full desktop OS.
@AlexSanchez you release the competence of non-fruity companies is never breaking news while fruity companies releaseing something to test apps for the first touchscreen, cellphone, email-capable device, and Applications is like Google buying out the government
@AlexSanchez I may be wrong, but when that article was first published (on here) it was breaking news.

You know what would really be magical? Making an SDK that works on a Windows machine. No wonder the app store is fully of creative but mostly useless apps: that describes the Mac owner-base.
