FMDB for iPhone
Gus Mueller: “I just tried compiling my FMDB SQLite wrappers against the iPhone SDK, and hey—it seems to work!”

Good news. (We use FMDB in NetNewsWire.)

iPhone SDK
Rhonabwy: “I haven’t done development for other mobile platforms, but some of the folks around me have - so I’ve heard a few things. Mostly, that the contractual obligations and costs for getting mobile applications are really pretty damn hideous through a lot of other settings, and that Apple’s take on this game seems pretty darned sane and reasonable.”

Apple Announces iPhone 2.0, Releases SDK
TidBITS: “The Core OS layer is largely the same as in Mac OS X, though with better power management. The Core Services layer includes things like SQLite for database storage and Core Location, which uses cell tower and Wi-Fi network data to determine location, which only the Maps application currently employs. The Media layer enables the iPhone to play audio and video, and includes things like Core Audio from Mac OS X. And lastly, Cocoa Touch replaces Cocoa as the application framework upon which all applications are built; Cocoa assumes a keyboard and mouse for input, whereas Cocoa Touch assumes that all input comes via touch - single touch, multi-touch, and gestures.”

History (beta)
Mike Lee: “As far as the specifics of the announcement itself, I am completely pleased. All the API I was afraid might not be there are there. Integration with Xcode, Interface Builder, and Instruments is more than I could have hoped for.”

I think I read that even Bonjour will be there. (Hope that’s true—it’s still tough to get through to download the SDK, at this writing. No surprise. Patience is indicated.)
