But homebrew development is still not permitted and/or supported!
The problem is not on technical value or presence/absence of the SDK (even at the beginning, when there were serious doubt iphone would have run any other app than apple's ones), but legal. Why I should wait months before someone can actually break my-new-gleaming-tech-gizmo before I could actually use open source homebrew software like scummvm on it? Will I loose producer warranty if I do it? Will the hacked firmware just works forever or can it be still blocked in future by updates (maybe VITAL updates, like serious bug fixing)?
iphone could be cool to see, but until it's really free, any broken and hell-slow J2ME vm is better than it...
