Fanboy Rowland, present and accounted for, Sir!

On the ranting/slavering, here we go:

Looks like Apple has done a hellacious job - XCode is ready to go,  
full IDE with debugging, includes mac-based simulator, Cocoa/iPhone  
widgets, lot's of Cocoa framework goodness including Core Services and  
I believe Core Animation(?), and a new one I think for Audio.  The Mac  
can record a user session from the iphone and play it back - great for  
building up test cases.  I would prefer to program in python - which  
has great support on the Mac version of OS X, but it looks like the  
current SDK is Objective-C only, so I'll just have to suck it up and  
learn it.  In addition to the development tools Apple has produced  
about a dozen videos for learning iPhone development and the Cocoa  
frameworks - they are all free via iTunes.  A nice touch I have to say.

I have several ideas i've been mulling over for the past few months,  
but they are all intended to earn money while I sleep, so if I tell  
you I'll have to kill you :)  Or at least render you a vegetable.
