Apple just emailed me to tell me that the iPhone Development Center is now open. I thought it would be gracious of me to mention this here since I previously ranted about how Apple seems to be giving third-party developers the cold shoulder. No, I’m not about to get out of the audio plug-in business and start writing iPhone apps, but I imagine that there will be people who come up with clever ideas and manage to make some bucks this way.
Apple Opens Doors to iPhone Developers
They’ve cheapened the market for music software, though, with the $499 price point of Logic Studio.
That they have. They’ve also raised the cost of developing plug-ins (and host apps) by creating AudioUnits. I still believe that part of their long-term strategy is to force third-party developers to either develop Mac-only software or to not develop Mac software at all.
