Abstract
The most exciting platform in computing today-wow, that’s quite a claim. Chances are that if you are writing software on the Mac today, you are thinking about writing for the iPhone. The iPhone and its sibling, the iPod Touch, have created a huge amount of interest amongst both end users and developers. Currently (as of late 2009) there are over 100,000 applications available for this platform on the App Store. It’s not just the existing devices that cause a stir, either. Apple, as always, plays its cards close to its chest, but you can be sure it has big plans for its mobile computing platform. Yes, definitely the most exciting place to be writing software right now.
