Yes, that’s right, unless you have been living in a cave or under a rock, then you probably noticed today’s big news: the official announcement of the iPhone SDK.  In other words, attention developers, the iPhone is now open for business.  But the real question is do the developers care?  Does anyone plan to develop anything for the iPhone?  That is the question our own Patrick Jordan asked of a number of mobile software developers.  The answer?  Well, I’ll let them speak for themselves:

Apple has destroyed most of the big mobile players, Nokia, Microsoft, and RIM. I’d expect Google to abandon Android development at this point, it’s now just irrelevant (if it weren’t already).

This is the second coming of the JesusPhone.

Wow!  Strong words, indeed.  Whether you love the iPhone or hate it, I think we can all agree that there are going to be some interesting times ahead.  Check out the full post over at our sister-site, Just Another iPhone Blog and find out how numerous developers (including JAMM favorite, Ilium) responded to today’s news.
