iPhone 2.0, iPhone SDK, and iPhone Apps Frequently Asked Questions

The App Store is to be part of iTunes....

I see what you mean, but do you understand where I am coming from in saying that its not the iTunes Store on the iPhone that will be distributing the apps, it will be the application App Store that will be distributing the apps on the iPhone.

Its just a subtle point that seems confused in the article, in a way puts across the idea that people can buy apps from the iPhone iTunes store.

On the first page alot of people were unsure of the 1.1.3 free version of the update for the iPod Touch, in the 'free' update, where the user didn't pay $20, you couldn't move home screen icons, couldn't add web clip and didn't get any of the applications, what they did get though is a 100mb deduction of space on their Touch which was the unlocked apps.

I paid, but I updated my friends with the free one, and all you got was lyric support (not even sure if you got that! just a metal dock was all I noticed!)

You probably didn't even get lyric support, or chapter support in the video player. You got the rearranged Safari interface for free, and bug fixes I'm sure. Just no new functionality, because of the way Apple interprets Sarbanes-Oxley.

How much space will it take out our iPhones?
With all those new features I wonder how big it will be?

Regarding all the talk of Flash

Talk of Flash, or more precisely, a lack of Flash support has got me confused. The gist seems to be that Flash has not been designed to run on low power chips and has no regard for power saving features.

Thus people have concluded that Flash will probably not come to the iPhone.

Also people are saying all it is good for is banner ads and roll-overs which we can live without- plus roll-overs are hard to conceive of, on a touch device.

There was also some mention of a Flash Lite, which in reality bears no resemblance to actual flash in terms of allowing devices to view flash sites.

My Question: Am I wrong in thinking that some phones, namely the Nokia N95 has some support for Flash?

Thanks.

I just checked: Nokia N95 supports Flash Lite. Adobe say Flash Lite enables web video a la YouTube etc. Anyone have any experience of Flash Lite- is this something we want on the iPhone?

I still can't download the SDK - keeps coming up with the try your request again in a few minutes. Not like I know Object C but still heh

This might be no FAQ, but... I know Cocoa is just an API rather than a programming language, so - what language do you code in for the iPhone? Java? Objective C?

Happy Birthday iPhone

In June the iPhone will be exactly one year old, and the first US customers will be halfway through their 2-year contracts (and UK customers will be about the same through their 18-month contracts). The birthday surprise is not the SDK, if it were then Apple has been a party pooper. So what will it be?

I dont know, that would be a good birthday present for me...

Hi i have the iPhone SDK and I have played around a bit but I'm not to good with code i was wondering can someone help me get NeoOffice to work with the iPhone. I can't do all the code it takes to write the program. i would be so thankful if you could send me the code for the program (preferably just the word processor part but i can reduce the program) If you could it would be great to send me a word app of your own!!!

Thanks
