Just to recap a bit from last week, Apple finally lifted their nondisclosure agreement for iPhone developers. I can't call it the right move. It was just "a move" that really should have been done. Apple really screwed up by not communicating with the iPhone community on this issues.
Also today, NDP stated the iPhone took command of the smartphone market with 17% of total units moved. It's possible Apple has already broken through the 10 million mark it set for itself for total 2008 sales.
