Apple drops iPhone NDA

7:38 am, October 1st, 2008, Giles Turnbull

Apple has decided to drop the iPhone dev NDA for released software.

It said that “the NDA has created too much of a burden on developers, authors and others interested in helping further the iPhone’s success”. That’s putting it mildly.

Unreleased software - or even unreleased features inside released software - is still covered by it, however.

This means the lives of software developers (and quite a few book publishers) will now be a lot easier.

That sound you can hear is iPhone devs everywhere breathing a sigh of relief.
