What's more important than iPhone 2.0?

The answer is; iPhone native Software Development Kit (SDK). How come? Because what has been hindering iPhone all these times from becoming more widely accepted, is the limited 'legal' applications for it.

Yes, you can jailbroken your iPhone to get as many apps you need. The jailbroken apps for iPhone vary from the trivial ones, to the most needed and should have included in the first place into iPhone. But jailbreaking is basically not the right choice, especially if you could get serious penalties from doing it such as banned from Apple stores worldwide.

And since Apple have set their motion to boost the iPhone sales by providing it for business users, 'legal' apps are definetely necessary and can't be delayed no more. But for Apple, that's not the only thing they have in mind to crank-up the profits from iPhone market. It's the App Store, a place where Apple can control what & which apps to be sold or installed into your iPhone; and also a place where everyone can take advantage from.

Ross Rubin, director of analysis at market-researching NPD Group agreed. "Putting apps right at the users fingertips and enabling them to acquire that software from anywhere is definitely a step forward in building exposure for the applications."

A fine conclusion made by Jim Dalrymple, Macworld.com: "The App Store could also lead to another benefit for Apple and its developers - the impulse buy. Much the same way that users often purchase songs from iTunes on a whim, Rubin expects the same thing could happen with iPhone applications."

But enough focusing and talking about things that only interest developers who're attending the WWDC '08 as I speak, allow me to ask about what all of these will do good for you who own current iPhone? Can you be contend to have all of those wonderous 'legal' apps inside your iPhone 1.0? Will the new iPhone 2.0 be good enough for you?

Or like Lance Ulanoff have asked too in his article at PC Mag: "A vast number of iPhone users will soon face a very tough decision: Do they want to part with a lot of money right now when they know it's unlikely they'll recoup a dime for their first iPhone?"
