Thanks Mike! Yeah, I got a craving to pick up iPhone app development so I'm going through docs now and will be helping a friend convert an old game he built for the web back in 91 to an iPhone app. I did C development for Cisco for a couple years after college, so I think Objective C will be cake to pick up. I'd love a group to talk about it!
