Apple has started to distribute the fourth beta version of the software development kit for its iPod touch andits hard-to-find-in-stores iPhone this week.
The latest version comes with an upgraded emulator that supports OpenGL ES which basically means that the iPhone simulator on a developer’s desktop can now mirror behaviour on the iPhone and iPod Touch.
Better games in store
This is great news for games developers in particular, who can now test out their games direct from their desktop machines
The 1.15Gb SDK including the Xcode IDE, iPhone simulator, Interface Builder, Instruments, frameworks, samples and the Shark analysis tool is available now from the Apple Developer Connection

1. Can somebody now develop some proper games for iPhones pleeeease?... I have high hopes for Monkey Ball, but I suspect it is going to still be a far cry from DS and PSP gaming.
