Apple posts iPhone Software Roadmap event stream
Apple has already posted a streaming version of its special iPhone software event.The stream is said to provide developers and users alike an outline of the future for the iPhone.
Apple's Thursday event addressed the version 2.0 software and SDK for the iPhone and iPod touch. Both upgrades allow third-party developers to make native software available for the iPhone and also add enterprise support, including full Microsoft Exchange e-mail.
The presentation also addressed the first clear third-party software announcements from some of Apple's partners, including games from Electronic Arts and SEGA, as well as instant messaging from AOL.
Also unveiled was Apple's App Store, which will serve as the sole download source for publicly available third-party software.

If I remember correctly, you will also be able to get apps via iTunes.
Yep. I think the point is that Apple will be the only source, but they'll offer them on the phone itself and in itunes.
I guarantee we'll see a veritable explosion of iPhone activity over the coming months. Very exciting times... now, about those iMac updates... 
Bob Borchers?
I can't find the iPhone 2.0 beta download after I paid my $99. Anyone find it?

It should see a link to click and download. I'm downloading now the Beta it's 2GB. I'm kinda excited I haven't did programming in 13 years last since college then that was UNIX.

I have the 2Gb SDK downloaded. What I don't have is the iPhone 2.0 OS.

Man do I ever agree!!!
After watching that video, two things come to mind. One: I can't wait to see MS and Adobe offering apps through the Apple App Store. This could be BIG! It would be cool if this became the default delivery for all kinds of software, even desktop and server.
And two: I think I might give Exchange Sever a second look. I've been using Unix for our mail for a long time. I tested Exchange in the past, only I didn't see any advantages at that time, now though, it might make sense.
Scott Forstall *so* gives me the shits.
I really want to watch this Apple presentation but I can't stand it. Will have to read the doco instead.
