SAN FRANCISCO -- By creating games and other programs for the iPhone,
software developers hoped to find millions of new customers. But they
didn't expect to feel muzzled.

The software development kit that Apple Inc. distributed to programmers
bound them to not discuss the process of creating programs for the
iPhone. Companies typically waive such legal restrictions once the
product in question launches, but Apple didn't. And it won't say why.

As a result, iPhone developers -- and businesses that cater to them --
say they are prohibited from asking technical questions or sharing tips
anywhere in public. On Apple's official support website, moderators
remind visitors that they are bound by the nondisclosure agreement and
should mind what they say or ask.
