Hey those group contacts are pretty cool
! It could eliminate the use for contact search, it could still be added but for me group will be fine, I don't have that much contacts to need a search

More like they're offering an easier way to code an interface to allow more developers novice and pro alike to rapidly and easily create tools for iPhone. I fail to see how this is controlling.
The OSX HID guidelines were in place way before this tool was released.
Edit: Besides, guidelines (when referring to them) are just that GUIDELINES, not actual rules. It's like the Pirate Code
Aw, I saw you did an edit and I was so hopeful that you'd say "oops sorry, I see your obvious sarcasm now" but I guess not...
Maybe a bit of both maybe so many people are downloading it, Apple's giving the paid accounts better access?
I have just downloaded the SDK but am a COMPLETE beginner.
I'd like to write an app that I can use as part of my work as a media trainer. A simple app that refreshes peoples memories with searchable info and then allows the user to type in a little 'script' for presentation later on.
There's little 'real' programming to be done but I have no idea where to begin as a complete novice.
It seams to me that the sdk isn't very user friendly for novices but more worryingly, I cant find any beginners guides etc...
Everyone begins at some point so am I missing something? How am I meant to learn how to construct my simple little app?

Dang! I downloaded the iPhone OS, installed it, tried to run an app I've been working on, and it crashed... Seems Apple has done away with the UISimpleTableViewCell? Can anyone confirm this?
I'm still downloading the actual SDK, so I don't have any proof...

Don't fret, I'm a beginner also. In fact, I only started looking at Objective-C like 4 days ago.
I'm not very far along but it's slowly coming to me. I started before today's Interface Builder release so it was actually a little helpful for me to dig down deep and figure out how to build the UI programatically. I suggest you do the same so you can understand the code that IB spits out.
Other than that, there are a couple iPhone tutorials on the dev site you can go through but ultimately, it's a lot of trial and error. I'm coming from a C++ background so objective C looks a lot different but luckily the API documentation is pretty extensive and the sample apps help a lot. Good luck (I know I need it lol)
Edit: For what it's worth, it took me about 2 hours to get a Segmented Control to display on the screen heh. I had to wrap my head around Views and messaging controls and stuff.

UISimpleTableViewCell's been replaced/folded into to UITableViewCell. UITableViewCell.h has a "#define UISimpleTableViewCell UITableViewCell" so your current code should compile, but I just did a find-and-replace to update.
EDIT: look at http://developer.apple.com/iphone/l...iscellaneous/RN-iPhoneBetaAPIDiffs/index.html
Thats probably because the SDK is a Beta program. I think the final version of the SDK will be released at WWDC and then once its final we will get patches for newer functionality.
Groups are already in the iPhone OS
As for the comment about Interface Builder being a toy - errr, no worries there: you do realise that every Cocoa Mac app's interface has been built with Interface builder ?
Now, what I'm looking for is some actual iPhone specific Interface Builder documents. A quick start guide, a few hints and tips ?

i had never noticed the groups icon before, and people complained about there not being the ability to show groups created in Address Book so i assumed that it was added later.
Probably because you don't have any groups in your Address Book.
Groups exists on my iPhone. Been there for a while.
There are groups. My brother has been doing it since 1.1.2. I think you just need it properly set up in Address Book.
I am running a virgin 1.1.4 and i can confirm that there are in fact groups in my contacts section.
