Hundreds of Apple Developers are eager to break iOS 5 NDA.
Following the introductions of iOS 5, hundreds of registered Apple Developers are busy refreshing Apple Developer site only to see the familiar “We’ll be back soon.” yellow sticky note.
A registered Apple Developer who goes by the nickname PrettyAwesomeTechBlogger told us that he/she (let’s face it, most likely it’s a he) couldn’t wait to post screenshots of iOS 5 on the blog and Facebook profile in addition to Twitter.
Another Apple Developer who spoke to us under the condition of anonimity also emphasized that he/she (once again, it’s a he; no girl developers are seen in 13 mile radius from Moscone West) would immediate post all the details of iOS 5 ahead of Apple-centric sites like AppleInsider, MacNN, TUAW and 9 to 5 Mac. “I will be the one who break the NDA first, not those sites!” he/she added.
