I'm in pretty much the same situation as you, fast-forwarded a few weeks. However, I decided to take the plunge into learning iPhone development. Once you start playing with it, you'll realize why the iPhone is such a compelling platform and such a hit in the mobile apps space. Apple made it really hard for anyone to build a crappy experience.

Tangentially, I'm not really enjoying the learning experience since going through the book (the grapefruit book) is pretty much the same as doing a bunch of tutorials. I still don't feel like I understand the overall architecture of an iPhone app and how the various pieces connect. Anyone have good book recommendations?




So you dove right into Objective C?


Simultaneously reading the iPhone dev book and going through the Objective-C manual from Apple. Objective-C is pretty easy to understand as long as you understand object-oriented programming and have a solid grasp on C. It's just learning it AND the iPhone platform at the same time that is a little harder.
