Steve Job’s press conference today about the iPhone Software Development Kit was to me better than I had hoped in many ways.

• Going after the Enterprise. Apple is making iPhone interoperate with Microsoft Exchange server. A huge factor in making the iPhone viable for business users.
• An awesome desktop simulator, for developing, testing, debugging iPhone apps, including an excellent performance metric tool.
• Availability of the Cocoa API.
• Excellent support for games, and alliances with Games publishers (Is iPhone going after the NDS and PSP?)
• Apple will be providing marketing, distribution and deployment services for a 30% cut for all applications, and for free, for Freeware applications, through their AppStore.
