Apple iPhone woos 100,000 developers with SDK

Since the release of the iPhone SDK last week it seems developers have been falling over themselves to download it — 100,000 of them in fact. According to Apple, the six-figure landmark was hit on 10 March.

Among those readying applications for the iPhone are AOL, Electronic Arts, Epocrates, salesforce.com, Netsuite and Sega. I’m also quite excited to hear that Namco is planning on bringing Pac-man to the iPhone before too long — I can really see that working with the touch interface.

Not all the results of Apple’s popularity have been so positive though – there are reports hackers have already worked out how to crack the iPhone 2.0 software to allow non-Apple approved applications to be written to the iPhone. It’s not great news for Apple, but if history is any guide, the company is likely to fix up the problem in a software update pretty soon.
