Downloading iPhone OS 4 SDK Developer Preview.

11:30 AM Cupertino Time
OK, I’ve “signed” the iPhone Developer Updated Program License Agreement. NDA is in effect now. I can’t talk about it unless Apple revealed it first (or someone else).

11:11 AM Cupertino Time
Apple iPhone Developer Center is being updated. Developer must agree to the Updated Program License Agreement.

Well, since NDA is in effect, I can’t talk much about iPhone OS 4 other than what Apple has revealed today.

It is apparent that Snow Leopard is required to develop for iPhone OS 4.

Apple Haters already hates iPhone OS 4.

Shortly after the iPhone OS 4 preview event, Apple Haters are sounding off how much they hate iPhone OS 4 already. Notably, Microsoft P.R. person Paul Thurrott already built a list of things he hates about iPhone OS 4 before the event even started.

  • It is from Apple afterall.
  • Those features already present in Jail-broken iPhones and iPod touch.
  • Apple stole the ideas from Google’s Android.
  • The UI is pretty much the same thing, unlike Microsoft’s Windows Mobile Phone 7 OS 7 Operating System Seven Series number 7.
  • No Flash support.
  • No Silverlight support.

Other Apple Haters are also saying:

  • Still no Google Voice App.
  • No Internet Explorer.
  • No Flash.
  • No Opera.
  • No Firefox.
  • No Flash.
  • No OGG support.
  • No Flash.
  • No Front Facing Camera (??????????).
  • The App Store approval still sucks (one valid point there).
  • It is still a closed system.
  • It is not Open Source (damn those Hippies!).

The list goes on and on.

Microsoft to hold Special Event on Monday April 12th, 2010.

There are a lot of Tech news today. Forget the iPad, forget the trollish post by the Toolish Troll Paul Thurott.

Speaking of Tool, Paul Thurrott has already written a rave review of Microsoft Special Event on Monday April 12th, 2010. Wait, Microsoft is having a special event? Once again, I thank Engadget for breaking this news, for me.

Microsoft Special Event will take place in San Francisco, and according to Microsoft P.R. Paul Thurrott it would be about Microsoft Pink Phones.

We have just received Paul Thurrott brainstorming list about the Microsoft Event.

  • It is mind-blowing.
  • Microsoft has out-Apple Apple.
  • Apple could never come up with anything remotely close to what Microsoft just unveiled.
  • For get the iDud that iPad is, Microsoft has schooled Apple what a successful product should be.
  • Never count Microsoft out of the smart-phone market.
  • This one should be called Hyper-phone.
  • Forget the Apps! This is a Microsoft Experience.
  • Microsoft is taking Experience to the next level.
  • Bringing everything not into the Application, but to the “Experience Level.”
  • This is what Apple iPhone dreams to be.

Well, it goes on and on and on.

We will see what’s coming at the Microsoft Event.
