It doesn’t make any sense at all for them to release the key to the public this early.

studangerous, thanks a lot for the compliments on the website. =]

As to the article, I’ll never understand why information like this is made public so early. All it does is tip Apple off and get them to change their tack a little. Were it me and I had the SDK key, I’d be guarding it with rottweilers and giant sharks with frickin’ laser beams attached to their heads until the day of the SDK’s release. Then I’d unleash it. Too damn late for Apple to do anything about it then.

Still, it does suggest that if they can get the key once, they can get it again if it changes (as it almost certainly will). The real question is: Just what are devs going to be able to do with the SDK? Or more importantly, what won’t they be able to do?
