FYI, most applications that runs on an iPhone will also run on an iPod Touch. In the latest iterations of iPod Touches, the only different between the iPhone and iPod Touch is the cell Phone and vibrate feature. So, most discussions referring to iPhones includes iPod Touches. So, if you have an iPod Touch and a wireless network, you may benefit from these discussions. I hope this doesn't change anybody's vote :-)

But seriously, I hope this clears up any confusion.

Do a google search on Apple Developer and you should have all the information you need. The iPhone approval process takes a few weeks. But once you sign up as a basic mac developer, which is free by the way, you get access to everything. The iPhone approval lets you actually install a native application on the physical device for testing. So, before you are approve you must test on the iPhone simulator, which is this iPhone looking application.

Sounds like a cheap price for the potential outcome.

The price of the developer fee is actually relative. For $100 annually, you get all of the tools (xcode, interface builder, instruments), tech support and most importantly access to millions of potential customers around the world. The $100 may also be a way to discourage people from signing up who are not going to develop apps. Also, Apple keeps 30% of the proceeds from the sales to cover the fulfillment(download, update notifications, billing) of your application to users. So, it is not a triv... [ More ]

Perhaps one day I'll have an app. The developer's fee is quite costly, also need to learn how to code the thing to work, but that's quite advanced stuff with SDK and XCode. Would be good to use it on my iphone the things I created in excel (due to the lack of real software programing knowledge), and that limit one to be stationary, not mobile. Love using iphone apps, the latest one I downloaded was FML, it's amusing.

Anyway, I think if a forum section is created it would be under Lottery Soft... [ More ]

With the tremendous growth of the iPhone as a mobile device and the availability of numerous applications dealing with lotteries, would you be interested in creating a section at the Lottery Post to discuss these native and web applications. In case you are not familiar with the differences between a native and a web application, a native application resides on the device and may occasionally connect to the network to retrieve information. A web application on the other hand, is totally dependen... [ More ]
