iPhone SDK key leaked?

applesdkkey.jpgA little bird tells us that the iPhone SDK key has been leaked. For those of you that don’t know what that means, the SDK key is the top secret code that iTunes uses to verify applications for the iPhone. This means that if someone codes a homebrew application of their own and somehow manages to implement the SDK key, it should be possible to load the application onto your iPhone, without unlocking your device.

To be honest we can’t say for sure whether or not the key is legitimate but something tells us we won’t have to wait long to find out. In the meantime, lets just be thankful that Apple is going to let third party apps onto the phone legally anyway and ay no attention to that list of letters and numbers in the picture above (wink wink etc).
