iPod Touch and iPhone users are gaining in number, and it looks like there’s no stopping the jailbreak-wagon anytime soon. With Apple setting February next year as the target date for their iPhone/Touch SDK release, developers are still having a field day in creating various unofficial applications for Steve’s hi-tech toys. Someone even developed local icons for Filipino Touch/iPhone users.

This is why I strongly back the idea of open-source or at the very least, the availability of SDK tools for developers. This will pave the way for more applications to be developed that will cater to everyone’s needs across the different regions all over the world. More people with technical skills will be allowed to create software that can address the needs of individuals within their location and not wait for someone from the other side of the globe to come out with a version that doesn’t quite exactly fit the bill.
