More details of Apple's iPhone SDK announcement, scheduled today for 10AM Pacific time and 1PM Eastern, have allegedly leaked through anonymous sources. It is indicated that although the iPhone can be used on both Macs and PCs, developers will only be able to acquire the SDK for Mac OS X, leaving Windows developers stranded. The development environment is in fact said to be an enhanced variant of Xcode.

Xcode is included free with every copy of Mac OS X, and includes elements such as a graphical workbench, a debugger and a multiplatform GCC compiler. The software is also updated for free through the Apple Developer Connection, and it is believed that the iPhone SDK may be supported in the same way as well. Developers would only need to be members of the ADC program to obtain the iPhone kit.

Echoing Apple CEO Steve Jobs' suggestions of improved gaming, it is rumored that Electronic Arts and Gameloft will be among the first major companies to produce native iPhone titles. The two are already dominant in the area of standard iPod games, often releasing several titles per month.
