After yesterdays iPhone SDK release, my boss agreed that we should spend some time making a client for our apps with it and got me an iPod touch to work with. Good stuff. The SDK and tutorials seem very good. Strange thing that many of the samples don't run in the Aspen Simulator. Especially since I need a certificate to be able to deploy them on the iPod, and that certificate is right now not available outside the US. I didn't expect to need a certificate to develop, I thought that was just for publishing on iTunes. So not being able to deploy those samples on a device and not being able to run them on the simluator, I'm stuck with guessing. I hope that is soon resolved as developing for it is good fun.

Despite the warnings of battery drainage and poor performance, I've bought an iPod. After having shot 850mb worth of photos with my Canon EOS 20D, I decided to throw the 368 (yes, I shot jpeg) into the pod. Result: it took two hours and half the power of the pod is gone (the 20D still thinks its full). And the iPod is so hot that I really don't want to put it in my pocket.
