The iPhone SDK is under NDA. When you downloaded and installed it,
you promised to abide by a license agreement that says that you can't
talk about it.
It *is* public knowledge that the iPhone SDK requires an Intel-based
Mac. It is also public knowledge that there is a second version of
the SDK. But beyond that, unless the information in question is
public knowledge (which is defined in the license agreement), you
can't discuss it with anyone except Apple employees.
It seems especially foolish to break this promise in this particular
instance, as Apple is going to act as a gatekeeper for the App Store,
and---depending on the seriousness of your license breach---it could
very well turn around and ask you why Apple should trust you given
that you broke your agreement last time around. I'm not saying it's
likely to happen in this case (or indeed in *any* case), but I do
think a number of people are being far too careless about the NDA
(perhaps because they downloaded the SDK for free and didn't read the
license agreement they were signing up to?)
Kind regards,
Alastair.
