Development in the Age of the iPad: Changes in the iPhone 3.2 SDK

摘要

The iPad is a game changer for developers, if not for the world at large. The extra screen space lets us to do things that were simply not possible on the iPhone's smaller screen. More importantly, the changes brought with the iPhone 3-2 SDK help us take advantage of this real estate, while providing a set of interesting tools for breaking out of the iPhone box. There's a lot of power in the new APIs, and I can't wait to see what developers do with them.rnThe changes don't end here, though: Apple plans to release iPhone 4.0 for the iPhone and iPod touch this summer, with the iPad version coming later this fall. This will add a host of other improvements, including multitasking, Quick Look, video capture, iAd and the new Game Center.rnThe extended iPhone development environment is becoming a very interesting place indeed, and the iPad seems poised to become a key player in this space.
