I’m watching VP of iPhone software for Apple, Scott Forstall, in today’s Apple Event.
He’s demo’ing the API and development environment, and my first thought was: this is a trojan horse for Mac OS X development.
Thousands of developers are going to want to write applications for the hottest mobile device on the market … and as they do so, they’ll all be learning how to program for a Mac, using the same tools – the same development environment.
This is going to pay dividends for many years to come.
