IPhone SDK Downloads Top 100,000

Apple has announced that more than 100,000 copies of the iPhone SKK software platform were downloaded in the first four days since its launch on March 6.

"Developer reaction to the iPhone SDK has been incredible with more than 100,000 downloads in the first four days," said Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing. "Also, over one million people have watched the launch video on Apple.com, further demonstrating the incredible interest developers have in creating applications for the iPhone."

Apple also previewed the new App Store, a breakthrough way for developers to wirelessly deliver their applications to every iPhone and iPod touch user. Developers set the price for their applications - including free - and retain 70 percent of all sales revenues.
