iPhone Apps Demoed

Today at WWDC, after the iPhone 2.0 demo, they demoed many many apps created using the iPhone SDK.

The first App demoed is by Sega. It’s Super Monkey Ball. Hey, we saw this already. But today they’re showing us the last level. Out of a whopping 100. Super Monkey Ball will be $9.99 at the launch of the App Store.

Apple’s recent success in both the music industry and computer industry can be blamed as the reason for the attack.

A few days ago I posted about the “World’s Second Unlocked iPhone” which was being sold on eBay. The bids eventually escalated to about 1 billion dollars, though they were most likely fraudulent. eBay ended the auction early, and no winners were chosen. So you must be wondering what happened to this piece of Apple history?
