The first iPhone SDK that isn't
Ajax vendor Backbase claims to have created the world's first software development kit (SDK) for the iPhone.
Never mind the details. The firm for instance doesn’t offer an SDK but Ajax development framework that is compatible with the Safari 3 browser. But calling a web toolkit an SDK makes for better hot PR air.
Still, adding support to Safari 3 only two weeks after the software was launched would be quite an accomplishment, right? We figured would check that with some of the leading Ajax vendors.
The Google Web Toolkit ranks as the second most popular Ajax development tool (trailing only behind Microsoft).
"We haven't discovered any compatibility issues between Google Web Toolkit and Safari 3.0, but we'll continue our testing as Safari 3.0 moves toward general release," a Google spokesperson informed us in an email.
So Backbase didn’t create an SDK and it succeeded in upgrading its existing product to a new version for which there are no apparent compatibility issues.
Is anybody interested in paying this company $10,000 per seat for these wonderful innovations?
