iMaginary Rumor: iPhone SDK is Coming Along Nicely

October 17th, 2007. Apple announced the iPhone SDK will be made available sometimes in February 2008. According to a completely made up source who allegedly is working for Apple on the purported SDK, it is coming along nicely. As a matter of made-up-fact, select companies are currently working on porting their apps to the iPhone. An iMaginary Apple employee sent a picture of a working iPhone with unlikely third-party-apps installed.

Until the actual announcement of iPhone third party apps, please take this picture with a boulder of salt. TAKE THAT, APPLE!
