shannon_aThankfully, Apple is finally dropping their NDA for the iPhone. Much to my amusement I got not one but twofour pieces of email on the topic this morning.
Apple regularly shrouds their upcoming products under NDAs, but this one just kept going and going. We kept expecting it to go away, and in fact at one time folks inside Apple told us it would go away on July 12, but the days, weeks, and months kept ticking away.
This all served to cause problems for the iPhone book that Christopher and I are writing. We've been unable to release a large chunk of it for early reading by customers and I was starting to wonder what we were going to do if we finished the book and the NDA was still up.
Well, the book is due on October 16, and as of today we've been told the NDA should be cleared within a week. Whew. That's cutting it a bit close.
One less source of stress is good.
