iphone / ipad 3.2 SDK GM Seed (Gold Master) by - Abinyah Walker

Late in March Apple developer community announced the Phone SDK 3.2 GM (Gold Master) Seed is now available. All iPad apps submitted must be built using this release. All members of the iPhone Developer Program can submit their iPad apps to iTunes Connect for review and approval. If you did not submit your app during the initial review period, but upload it by March 31, it will be reviewed but may not make the grand opening of the iPad App Store.

The much anticipated launch of the iPad comes with a new iPhone OS update that is not expected to include the rumored multi-tasking feature or support for Flash.

Many users aren't going to be aware of the latest update until their service provider or iTunes warns them of a required upgrade. Unlike the launch of the iPhone 3.0 OS, Apple is focused on marketing hardware not software at this stage.

What does Apple have up its sleeve for the spring/summer season. We are expecting to see a big refresh of the MAcbook Pro line with new Intel Quad core mobile CPUs.  The higher end Macbooks have been lacking in innovation over the last year. The "unibody", although making the Macbooks more resilient meant a non-replaceable battery. 

Before any of you upgrade, make sure you read the iPhone SDK GM Seed Release Notes before installing and developing with this new releases. For consumers, start saving you money for new apple hardware and un-hook yourself from credit/debt.
