Hello, all. There is a caveat to iPhone development: one can develop apps in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript using a toolkit like Titanium. This is also a viable approach to creating Android apps. The framework provides a multitude of APIs that have access to the various features of the mobile devices at the hardware level, and evidently user experience is on par with apps written in Objective C and Java for iPhone and Android respectively. I should say that I have not tried this myself at this point, but certainly have been looking for an excuse at work to do so! This link may be interesting:

Yeh. And that requires a Mac. I speak from experience. Also, the ide is not as accessible as it could be. At least, the interface builder is a real problem child as far as I can tell. Contact me off list and I can give you more detailed information. I'm taking an iPhone development class and my hair is going grayer by the day. LOL J.

So, if you want to program for the iPhone, I guess objective C is the only option? Pranav
