Apple has announced that more than 100,000 iPhone developers have downloaded the beta iPhone software development kit in the first 4 days since its launch last week.

"Developer reaction to the iPhone SDK has been incredible with more than 100,000 downloads in the first four days", said Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing.

"Also, over one million people have watched the launch video on Apple.com, further demonstrating the incredible interest developers have in creating applications for the iPhone."

This milestone press release has been sent out as the iPhone Dev Team, a group of hackers, has announced that they have first jailbroken, and then unlocked, the 2.0 iPhone firmware before it has even been released.
