Apple to open the iPhone for developers

This, if true, is fantastic news. According to Business Week, the iPhone is going to be made open to developers to write native applications. From the article:

"Sources familiar with the company's plans tell BusinessWeek.com that Apple will release a software-development kit for the iPhone in early 2008, enabling programmers to create games, business-productivity tools, and countless other applications for the device. Few details are known, but sources say an announcement will come in January, which suggests it may be slated for Jan. 15, when Chief Executive Officer Steve Jobs takes the stage at the Macworld Expo in San Francisco."

Well this is great. And, about time. Now let's see them sanction carrier-unlocking, as well. But I won't hold my breath on that last one.
