Apple release official iPhone SDK Roadmap announcement video
interest in iPhone SDK announcements is fast reaching saturation point (meaning we can all move on to theorising about whether the 3G iPhone will be announced at the WWDC, predicted to be in June) so as to underline the whole event Apple have put up a video of the full presentation.
