So I would assume everyone saw the announcement from Apple yesterday regarding the new iPhone OS and how it takes on Multitasking, bar none the biggest gripe people had regarding the iPhone / iPad. More interestingly it has been noted that they also updated their developer license to contain some pretty telling language:

Applications may only use Documented APIs in the manner prescribed by Apple and must not use or call any private APIs. Applications must be originally written in Objective-C, C, C++, or JavaScript as executed by the iPhone OS WebKit engine, and only code written in C, C++, and Objective-C may compile and directly link against the Documented APIs (e.g., Applications that link to Documented APIs through an intermediary translation or compatibility layer or tool are prohibited).

Basically squashing the whole Adobe Flash Will Export To iTunes App - because Flash in any iteration doesn\'t fit the bill. This is a bit of a bummer to hear at first but if you consider any other example of Apple having strict control over their walled garden, it makes sense. Actually, John Gruber, unsurprisingly, has some great thoughts on the change.

In other news - my favorite selling point of the new OS upgrade is:

Get faster access to your favorites and browse and manage up to 2160 apps at once — many more than the current limit of 180 apps.

Really? 2,160 apps? Does that seem a bit excessive to anyone else?
