iPhone SDK 3.2 Out

Soon after the iPad has started shipping, Apple released the new version of its iPhone SDK for all the budding iPad app developers.

Interesting Features in this SDK include:

  • Many features in the OS does not support the iPhone or iPod Touch and will run only on the iPad.
  • The SDK will allow a video output to an external display using the dock connector.
  • The OS has new rich text support in UITextInput that allows different fonts, sizes and more.
  • As already know, the OS does not support multitasking.
  • The OS will support file sharing in a shared directory that can be mounted on your PC or Mac. The assumption is that it is there to support working with iWork documents.
  • The SDK will support the creation of a new category of “Universal” apps that support the iPad or iPhone and iPod Touch.

This SDK includes the Xcode IDE, iPhone Simulator, and a suite of additional tools for developing applications for iPad and can downloaded for free from here. However do note that you have to be running OS X operating system to develop the apps and a member of Apple’s Developer Program to directly run applications on your device.
