I don't know why they assumed the NDA would be lifted with the release of the iPhone 2.0. It would have been great if it were lifted, but it wasn't. They knew the risk they were running.

Lots of companies have pre-release NDAs. That part is normal.

The abnormal part is not lifting the NDA even after the launch of the second major version of your product.

abnormal != evil though

Yeah, I don't think it's evil, but it does seem counter-productive.
