So, not quite February, but well, that's the news.

Define 'missed'

Steve said "in developers' hands in February".

The SDK has been in developers' hands for quite some time now. There will be apps announced on March 6... that means developers had the SDK.

He didn't say "in the hands of every hobby hacker in the country by February."

it's only a slight overrun

Farhad the Macsux T-shirt wearing PC-A hole wrote: "it's only a slight overrun, not likely to substantively affect development on the iPhone. But still, it's fun when things slip at Apple. Mistakes build character, and shows they're human, too."

And it also shows us what you are.

It wasn't really a deadline

He said "we plan to" not "we promise to". Plans are subject to revision.
