Answer 2

Its a nice list. You cant go wrong with most of them. I have to agree with the OC comments. Word or Jewels is a must top 50 let alone 100 for me. lol @ the 40 days > Speed of Life comment. Now Am I wrong or did I not see 93 Til' on this list? How is that not a top 100? Disappointing after seeing your other question about Hiero being underrated. As always Del dominates the best of lists, though you cant really agrue that. Edit: @ reasonable, I gave you a thumbs up. I agree with Illmatic comment and dont feel you should be thumbed down for your opinion.

Answer 3

Start developing the next generation of innovative mobile applications. Join the iPhone Developer Program and gain access to the new iPhone SDK, iPhone OS 3.0 beta, and the

ability to test your applications directly on iPhone.



iPhone SDK for iPhone OS 3.0 beta

With a rich set of over 1,000 new APIs, iPhone SDK for iPhone OS 3.0 beta provides you with an amazing range of technologies to enhance the functionality of your iPhone and iPod touch applications. New APIs also provide support for applications to communicate with hardware accessories attached to iPhone or iPod touch.





In App Purchase

Allow users to purchase content or services from your application using the Store Kit framework. This new framework handles the financial aspects of the transaction, processes payment with the iTunes Store, and provides your application with information about the purchase.





Peer to Peer Connectivity

Add multi-player capabilities to your games using the peer to peer network connectivity and in game voice communication features of Game Kit. This powerful new framework allows any application, not just games, to communicate between devices using Bluetooth-no pairing required.





Apple Push Notification service

The Apple Push Notification service provides a way to alert your users of new information, even when your application isn't running. Send text notifications, trigger audible alerts, or add a numbered badge to your application icon.





Maps

You can now embed maps within your applications using the new Map Kit framework. Map Kit works with the Google Mobile Maps Service and features panning and zooming, custom annotations, current location and geocoding.





Accessories

Using the new External Accessory framework, your application can now communicate with "Made for iPod" hardware accessories attached to iPhone or iPod touch through either the 30-pin dock connector or wirelessly using Bluetooth.





iPod Library Access

Access music, podcasts, or audio books in a user's iPod library directly from your application using the updated Media Player framework. You can play, repeat and shuffle songs or whole playlists, or create sequences of songs using custom searches.
