Updated: updated pricing of SDK.

Today Apple provided more information about third-party application development for the iPhone. Developers will be able to take advantage of the same tools used by Apple to write their own applications. Developers will be able to get the SDK and create applications for the iPhone, which can then be downloaded to the iPhone through the new iTunes Applications Store. Users will be able to download via their computer, as well as over EDGE and Wi-Fi. Developers will get 70% of the revenue from games sold. The SDK will be free, but it will cost $99 to publish games. A beta release will be made available today. The applications won't be supported until the iPhone is updated to version 2.0, which won't be until June.
