I am not a big Apple fan and I wonder sometimes why people get so excited about everything they release.
Who would for example like a phone with these "faults":

• Basic camera
• No multitasking!!
• BigBrother Apple must approve everything all the time
• Can’t deploy your own apps to the IPhone (without paying!)
• No Flash/Silverlight yet.. Will there ever be?
• Bluetooth functionality is not brilliant

But since it is a product from Apple everyone just loves it. I must admit that the design is quite slick and the performance is quite good (probably because it can only do one thing at the time :) ). And the AppStore is obviously working very well.

Anyway, as a developer you realize that IPhone, IPad and IPod can open up a big market for your applications. You have potentially millions of buyers if you come up with a really good idea!

I have written applications for various platforms in different languages but I have never written applications for the IPhone. So to get an idea on how it all works I bought this book (for my Kindle):

I have now read it and I must recommend it. The book was really good and gave me most of the information I was looking for. I still haven’t written a single IPhone application yet, but now I know where to start!
It actually looks pretty easy to write IPhone apps, especially if you come from a C background.
