I had hoped that iPhone phone prices would suddenly drop as now Orange and Vodaphone offer iPhone contracts - I gave up waiting and I have just bought a new iPhone!
Up until now I had been relying on the xCode iPhone simulator - this has been fine but I wanted to get a real feel for how the applications flow and actually work in day to day life. I was surprised to find out how simple they seemed and that by coming up with complex ideas/designs - I was still in windows rather than mobile device mode.
VitVot - My experience of becoming an iPhone developer in 18 months. I am an experienced Windows developer who decided in December 2009 to start learning Objective-C and how to use the SDK (xCode) with a view develop and publish iPhone applications.

First book finished!
I have read most of Beginning iPhone 3 Development by Dave Mark and Jeff LaMarche and most of it has made sense. The bits I missed were the actually typing in of the exercises (which are obviously quite key!) but the theory made sense. Although I do very much feel like a poor mans developer having to map out exercises on paper rather than coding on an actual Mac!
I am not keen to spend hundreds of pounds on equipment until I can be sure what the return on an iPhone development is likely to be.
