Excellent news: Jobs announces native 3rd party SDK available for iPhone and iPod Touch development in February.

Let me just say it: We want native third party applications on the iPhone, and we plan to have an SDK in developers' hands in February. We are excited about creating a vibrant third party developer community around the iPhone and enabling hundreds of new applications for our users. With our revolutionary multi-touch interface, powerful hardware and advanced software architecture, we believe we have created the best mobile platform ever for developers.
Nice. That's exactly what I wanted to hear. I was beginning to worry they were thinking they could do it all themselves.

There are a few details that could still make this slightly less than perfect, but we won't know until February. I don't mind the wait, I just hope it is as open as possible. In any case, great news that Apple still gets it.

The broadest claims in Amazon's one-click patent have been struck down. Score one for the side of reason.
