iPhone Application Development

The iPhone, iPad and iPod touch are revolutionary mobile devices created by Apple, Inc. They are proprietary devices so Java and other mainstream mobile applications don't work on them. Instead, Apple created their own API language that developers need to use. While iPhone OS shares a common heritage and many underlying technologies with Mac OS X, iPhone OS was designed to meet the needs of a mobile environment.

Existing Mac OS X developers will be at home developing for these devices, but they’ll also find technologies that are available only for iPhone OS, such as the Multi-Touch interface and 3-axis accelerometer support.
