I applied to the Apple’s iPhone developer program about a month ago, I did not recieve a reply for about 3 weeks. When they did ask me to send some documents, I had a few questions which again are waiting for a reply. So I told them to cancel my request to join the iPhone developer program. Seems like they dont need any more people writing software for iPhone. I can basically agree with that, so many new apps are coming to the Apple app store every day now, making it pretty easy for an application to fall into oblivion and go un noticed. So seems like I will probably hack my iPod and move to Cydia store.
However android has been a totally different story, first of I just love the android sdk, its so much better/affordable and easier to use, I had to buy a mac mini just to be able to run the iphone sdk ( i might sell it now, with no more plans to target iphone ), unlike iphone I dont have to learn a new language, Objective-C is one of the most idiotic things I have ever seen. Java syntax is easy, eclipse is familiar, the documentation is simple and to the point. Unlike Apple I didnt have to wait for weeks with Google, I got access in just a couple of days ( that too because of weekend ). So seems like my android development days are going to start.
Still the QT port for symbian is taking too much time, and I cant publish apps for Symbian/Nokia Ovi store unless I register a company, lets just hope that Nokia sorts those things out soon.
