Why does it take four months to publish a SDK? Surely Apple must be using the SDK already to create their own applications?

Steve Jobs gives a reasonable explanation in his announcement - that they want to implement a robust security model for third-party apps, something they don't need for internal development.

And as I can attest to, having recently hacked my iPod touch, the security model that's in place right now is not sufficient.

And anyway, classes and methods do not a full API make. Nor is an API alone the full SDK toolchain that is needed (and, now, promised).
