Such total BS. What genuine develkoper has been treated badly. Some
one man developer wanna-bes may feel neglected, but that is very
different.

Never would have seen that response coming.

Why is it different? According to the Developers' Conference some months
ago, it makes no difference in Aplle's eyes.

has an interesting viewpoint on some of the challenges iPhone developers
face, the larger your developer pool, the worse the problem gets:

| See before the 2.0 update at Apple came out we only had an allotment of
| 5 devices and it had to be used internally. Well we have 3 iPhones
| between me and my developers and that left two more in the allotment,
| but without breaking our NDA and sending XCode and the 2.0 ROMs we
| couldn't beta test it.

What will be interesting isn't the challenges that Apple faces, but how
Apple deals with them.
