Apple axes the iPhone NDA

In a move that will please millions of people, and is surely a response to the launch of Google’s completely open Android platform, Apple has lifted the Non Disclosure Agreement it had previously placed upon every single iPhone developer. iPhone developers worldwide were up in arms in the months proceeding the launch of the App Store, over the ridiculous NDA that Apple had placed upon them. The NDA made any sort of communication between developers or beta testing of apps illegal, making it much harder for developers to provide the best quality software they possibly could. Citing a huge burden on developers, Apple has stated that devs will receive a new agreement, without NDA, about already released software, in a week or so. Software or updates that haven’t been released yet, however, are still under the NDA.

Once the new agreement is released, developers will hopefully be free to do as they normally would while developing apps, and even better software will flood into the App Store.
