New iPhone SDK and firmware builds in the mix, now with more OpenGL

by Chris Ziegler, posted Apr 23rd 2008 at 11:32PM

Once again, the time has come for a fresh beta build of the official iPhone SDK -- and if you're lucky enough to be involved in the firmware seeding program, a fresh build of the 2.0 firmware, too. The big change this time around appears to be support for OpenGL ES in the SDK's emulator, enabling easy, breezy access to 3D acceleration for testing all those spellbinding games we plan on playing the heck out of in a couple months. So yeah, shouldn't you get cracking on that? Seriously.

Can't wait for Monkey Ball, Spore, and all the other (likely) games on their way!!
I'm really hoping for a great version of Checkers (I know, I ask too much!! lol), Chess, and Tetris.

My single most wanted app though would be a SlingMedia player!!!
