iPhone SDK - Movie, Music, Game and TV Downloads

Apple unveiled their SDK (Software Development Kit), which will allow third parties to create apps that can run on the iPhone.

This is being touted as new, but some third-party apps have already been available for many months. For example, iPhone Nova has been used by iPhone users to download games, music, and even Movies and TV shows.

However, the new SDK does have a few features that previous developers haven't had available...specifically the interaction with the touch screen.

From Apple's press release:

Scott Forstall, Apple’s vice president of iPhone Software, explained that Apple had to build a version of its development framework, Cocoa. Dubbed Cocoa Touch, the new development tools are based on the touch interaction with the iPhone instead of the keyboard and mouse interaction users have with a desktop computer.
