steve jobs mentioned that the sdk would be available late february. do you really think that the SDk they release will be as good as appsnapp's installer. i mean honestly knowing apple theres gonna be a hell lot of retrictions and its not gonna be the same. i bet they will charge like a dollar an app. (just like other phones when you buy games)
 
The less they restrict it, the more money they make. They have a chance to end hacking all together here.
 
It probably wont be as open, you can be sure of that, but what do you want at the end of the day, a bricked device or one that works ?

You can't expect Apple to engineer their future updates around your hacking of the device, if it breaks because of an update, your fault, and I think while you probably wont see as many applications (officially) at first, they'll mostly be of a higher quality than the ones found on appsnapp.
 
Hacking will still thrive for many versions. Some apps will not be approved, some developers might use the SDK to make stuff and just choose not to share. I really do hope that the developers we have now use the SDK to make apps but then only put it on Installer so that people with unhacked phones will still be without some of the essential apps...
