To that end, we’ve posted up our recent tutorial on developing for the iPhone and iPod Touch. The official iPhone SDK is set to be released at some point this month, but enterprising hackers have already decoded much of the kit and packaged it up for people to use now – and its this unofficial SDK that we take a look at in our feature.
