Dear Scott,
I think it's pretty clear from the SDK License that Apple will not be
supporting any type of 3rd party kernel extension... at least for the
foreseeable future if ever. The SDK license strictly points out that
the only code that will be allowed to enter into a customer's iPhone/
iPod Touch is code that only uses the public API. Any code that uses
unpublished API will be rejected. Since there is nothing there for
Kernel Extensions I think the writing on the wall is pretty clear.
I think this is a huge win as Apple can change things internally as
much as they wish and that really cool application that everyone uses
will not be affected because it wasn't allowed to use some of the
stuff that changed. As well, it ensures performance and stability.
The two things that are probably the most important to maintain on a
mobile device.
Thanks,
Michael

I've been waiting for the iPhone SDK to be released before asking
this question. I don't see any documentation or statement of
support for the NKE's on the iPhone. Is there any word on if/when
we might see apple supporting NKE's for the iPhone? Any links or
additional information on the topic would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Scott
