Apple to limit distribution and publishing of iPhone apps

As reported by iLounge, with the arrival of the iPhone/iPod Touch SDK on March 6, Apple will also use the event to announce limitations on distribution and publishing of third-party applications.

Some of these announcements include:

  1. Using the iTunes store as the distributions channel (expected)
  2. Apple will be the approving authority and gatekeeper for all applications
  3. There will be no connectivity allowed to third-party add ons
One final note: iLounge's source says that the March event will be used to announce a beta version of the SDK and that Apple's June World Wide Developer's conference will be the actual ship date of the final SDK build.
