Come June, when it finally delivers the SDK for iPhone, Apple gets a pass to brag about its mobile OS all it likes.

That’s according to InfoWorld chief technologist Tom Yager.

“From the work I’m doing with the publicly available preview tools and documentation, I can attest that iPhone will be the simplest, best-documented, and most enjoyable experience for mobile application developers,” Yager contends in iPhone SDK upends mobile niche.

“Two details put iPhone way over the top for developers: the multitouch display and the three-axis accelerometer. Both of these are accessible in native code as well as JavaScript.”
