Yes that’s right, iPhone developers will now be able to generate iOS applications using Unreal Development Kit “which is a 3D-Engine normally used for console and pc-games”. Epic Games announced this at the Korean Games Conference. First Apple didn’t allow developers to create a iOS application using something else than the Apple SDK kit. But since Apple removed these restrictions, developers would be able to use other development kits such as the Unreal Kit. » Create Amazing iOS Games With The Epic Unreal Development Kit

New day new….. App Store? Yea that’s right, OpenAppMkt is a web-based third party app store for the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. The apps that you can download are completely written in HTML, if you would like to install a app alls you have to do is push the “add to home” button. The good thing of OpenAppMkt is that you don’t need a jailbroken device to use it (like Cydia). All you have to do is go to http://www.OpenAppmkt.com/ and follow the instructions. You are not really installing something when you hit the “add to home” button, all you really do is create a Safari bookmark on your home screen. They are all web apps, so to use the apps you need a internet connection. » OpenAppMkt: Web-Based Third Party App Store
