Today, Apple announced its plans to release a Software Development Kit (SDK) for the iPhone and iPod Touch in February. Such an SDK will give the power to software developers to create native applications to run on Apple’s mobile platform, which is based on its Mac OS X operating system. Potentially, this may provide the tools to create access solutions such as screen readers and magnification utilities for the iPhone and iPod Touch.

Steve Jobs made the announcement in an open letter posted to Apple’s web site. The delay until February, says Jobs, is to give Apple the chance to deliver a robust development solution and also varify security and stability for users of the devices, particularly the iPhone.

Apple has decided to drop the price of DRM free (iTunes+) tracks in its iTunes store from $1.29 to $.99 as it faces competition from Amazon.com’s new DRM-free music download service. Even better, the tracks will remain at the higher 256KBPS bit rate, substantially better than the 128KBPS of the iTunes protected songs.
