Apple Set to Open Up the iPhone (iTouch?)

CNN Money is purporting that the upcoming release of Leopard (OS X), there are signs that Steve Jobs is set to open up the iPhone (iTouch) to third party developers.
The article doesn’t name the iTouch directly, but so far everyone is still referring to the two as one and the same even though there’s been no noticeable progress on the iTouch hacking front thus far.
The iPhone was open to third-party software from day one, of course, as long as coders stuck to writing within the confines of the Safari development environment and didn’t try to write so-called “native” apps — a restriction that some hackers took as an invitation to crack the thing open on their own terms.
