                                          | I briefly looked into it by Googling "iPhone app development".  There are toolkits that can be installed for development purposes.  Many tutorials exist too for various bits of functionality.  One problem with iPhone is that it looks like you must have a Mac.  I don't.  Other developers were concerned about the license structure from Apple.  According to some, Apple won't approve apps that were developed outside of their tookkit, which only runs on Macs.  I might have been fed some bad information, so if you are serious about moving forward, I would consult someone with first hand knowledge.Hey, it compiles.  |
