iPhone SDK Set to Disappoint?

[Mr. Mayor]

<img src="http://www.mactropolis.com/images/blog/iphone-sdk-invite.jpg" alt="iPhone SDK Set to Disappoint?" align="right" height="204" width="250" />Remember that '<a href="http://www.mactropolis.com/iphone/apple-holding-special-iphone-sdk-event-next-week/">special iPhone SDK event</a>' Apple is having next week? It's sounding like the news might not be as positive as everyone had hoped.

<a href="http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2008/02/29/apple-planning-on-limiting-sdk-access/" target="_blank">BGR is reporting</a> today that it may not be all it has been hyped up to be. According to several sources, Apple is planning to lock down the SDK... and hand-picking which apps will make it onto the iPhone.

There is also rumor that Apple will be presenting an SDK in the very early stages of development when they hold their meeting next week.

I have to admit, this is the first I've heard of all this... and it is all just rumor at this point.

<strong>Has anyone else out there heard similar grumblings?</strong>
