Recently, I have finally found the time to dive into the world of app development for the iPhone platform. So far it is proving to be an environment as fine-tuned as it is inspiring, i.e. the haiku of program and design.
The screen space is a fun limitation. It demands design, but because the screen size is always going to be 320x480 (or 480x320), you never have to worry about resizing...or browser neutrality for that reason.
And in terms of resources, the manual memory management is an added coding task but actually always makes it explicit when something is retained or released. A good thing to monitor leaks.
And with all the free APIs out there, particularly around mapping, I'm stoked up to make some more apps!
