whoa, i din know we have some active iphone app developers in malaysia. i recently bought apple macbook pro and since i have the mac os x, i'm now trying to learn how to develop an iphone app.

but i'm a complete newbie. java + python developer here. =_="

anyway, i have 2 questions here, hopefully you all can help me answer. purely newbie questions.

- if i were to get a device to test my app, do you think i should get the new ipod touch, or iphone (which needs to wait like 3 weeks).

- will testing my app on the device (after simulator testing) kill my device =_="

mmm i currently trying to learn as fast as possible... hopefully i can be on par with most of you here. but i reli no training la. i do know about the MDEC but not sure what other grants do they have. I know they have one grant for independent developer....not sure details though.

yeap, i know iphone app dev is bout Cocoa Touch, Object C or even C. Nothing to do with Java or Python. PhoneGap, i've read somewhere that App Store tends to reject applications made using PhoneGap. Also, I believe that if you want to do something, u better use their platform for better performance.

Mmm of coz not jz for development if possible lo. well, if (3) is okay, i shld b getting iphone lo. Initially scare i will break the phone if doing deployment. hahaha

anyway, thanks for the reply.

dude, what is wrong with u man? i said i READ IT SOMEWHERE. i did not say when is that article dated. perhaps it was outdated but Apple DID reject PhoneGap applications before this. And that is what I've found based on the article I encountered. If I did not do any research, how would I know?

also, ur line "it's Obj-C with 100% of iPhone SDK so Apple has NO RIGHT to reject the apps!" --- Apple reserves the rights to reject any apps that they think are not suitable. ITunes and the entire platform belong to them.

*sighs* when people message and ask nicely, please use a nicer tone. no need to so worked up.

and for your info, i AM a developer. =_= donno why a friendly message ends up kena flame by people. *duh*

sorry then. i will jz stop posting here. i did not expect something this small to be so sensitive. a forum is here for people to speak their opinions and ask questions. don go flaming other people just because of other ppl voicing their concerns.

nvm. i jz keep my mouth shut or some sensitive fellas will come flame me again for the wrong choice of words.

my only advice to u - don over-rely on third party and use it as your 'RICE BOWL'. i've learnt it the hard way. good luck.
