Thanks Flu! I have a mac but it’s a Power-PC (few years old G5) and I don’t think the dev tools run on anything but the intel uP. So I’ll still need to get something.

I did search at the itunes store, it seems nobody has developed this app yet. I really think it’s a good one.

Geeze FLU now I have to write a how to get Rich book.

Please, do. I’ll buy it and tell you if it works 🙂
I just need to figure out what your definition of Rich is.

See, this is why Enginerds are idiots. See all the crap you have to build just to hit it big?

We joke around about Realtors/Wall Street Bankers,etc being “idiots”…Quite the contrary. These folks are the smart ones. They figured it out a long time ago that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. We enginerds needed to wait for a mathematical proof before we believed it.

BTW: And if at any point while you are writing your iphone app, and are getting frustrated why things don’t work, and think this is really difficult after spending countless weeks on a problem, just remember this to keep you motivated….You’re not going to let a 9 year old kid beat you are you????

Certainly not! (Just make sure your ego doesn’t get too bruised, lol… Article below).

Sincerely,

Poor Enginerd.

SINGAPORE (Reuters) – While most children his age sketch on paper with crayons, nine-year old Lim Ding Wen from Singapore, has a very different canvas — his iPhone.

Lim, who is in fourth grade, writes applications for Apple’s popular iPhone. His latest, a painting program called Doodle Kids, has been downloaded over 4,000 times from Apple’s iTunes store in two weeks, the New Paper reported on Thursday.

The program lets iPhone users draw with their fingers by touching the iPhone’s touchscreen and then clear the screen by shaking the phone.

“I wrote the program for my younger sisters, who like to draw,” Lim said. His sisters are aged 3 and 5.

Lim, who is fluent in six programing languages, started using the computer at the age of 2. He has since completed about 20 programing projects.

His father, Lim Thye Chean, a chief technology officer at a local technology firm, also writes iPhone applications.

“Every evening we check the statistics emailed to us (by iTunes) to see who has more downloads,” the older Lim said.

The boy, who enjoys reading books on programing, is in the process of writing another iPhone application — a science fiction game called “Invader Wars.”

Yes, you need to a get an intel based mac. the PowerPC’s don’t work. The cheapest route would be to get the MacMini (the price just dropped because Mac just upgraded the model to include the Nvidia video chip instead of using the intel graphics).

You can reuse your PC’s monitor, mouse, keyboard.

$449/ no tax.

Also, factor in that you will also need to either get a iphone OR get a ipod touch eventually(if you don’t have one already). I’ll probably go the ipod touch for now). I guess you can write this all off.

If you really think your idea is unique, see if you can work with a patent attorney. You might end up wanting to outsource the work, and I wouldn’t take chances on it.

Here’s the link to the iphone developer

http://developer.apple.com/iphone/

Just follow the directions, and examples. You need to register.

There’s an option for a 1 time payment for devprogram/support/distro/etc. I’d do it if you are serious. It’s not that much: $99 for standard, $299 for enterprise (which I don’t think you’ll need)
http://developer.apple.com/iphone/program/

Here’s an Objective C primer:
http://developer.apple.com/iphone/gettingstarted/docs/objectivecprimer.action

(It’s sort of a weird syntax imho, but i guess it’s just a matter of getting use to it).
