Third party iPhone apps

[Jesús Díaz Blanco]

I am surprised that:

1) Someone got their hands on the SDK without any call from Apple to  
other bigger publishers.

2) Apple is approving this.

3) If it's all true, Apple is letting this guy to talk about it  
openly without getting kidnapped by Steve's cyborg ninjas and thrown  
away in the middle of the Pacific with new cement shoes.
