Craig Hockenberry on the iPhone SDK

In a world of “woe is us iPhone developers!” and “Apple is sticking it to the users!”, Brain Surgeons is quite frankly the first intelligent speculation I’ve read so far (and I’ve been reading a lot, none worth linking to) about Apple’s possible reasons for prohibiting background-running apps on the iPhone at this time.

Do I expect such a sophisticated system to be available in a beta of version 1.0? Hell no. And neither should you.

Amen.
