Everything around the iPhone development is still new. It may be very difficult for a new developer to find information about Objective C, but i found a bunch of resources for new and experienced iPhone developers, check out some of the best books for iPhone development

Beginning iPhone Development: Exploring the iPhone SDK

This is a begginer iPhone developers book by Jeff Lamarche and Dave Mark. It takes you from downloading the SDK to creating your very own apps. The official page and support site: http://iphonedevbook.com/

The iPhone Developer’s Cookbook: Building Applications with the iPhone SDK

Erica’s book is a truly great resource for Cocoa Touch developers. This book goes far beyond the documentation on Apple’s Web site, and she includes methods that give the developer a deeper understanding of the iPhone OS, by letting them glimpse at what’s going on behind the scenes on this incredible mobile platform.

The iPhone and iPod touch aren’t just attracting millions of new users; their breakthrough development platform enables programmers to build tomorrow’s killer applications. If you’re getting started with iPhone programming, this book brings together tested, ready-to-use code for hundreds of the challenges you’re most likely to encounter. Use this fully documented, easy-to-customize code to get productive fast—and focus your time on the specifics of your application, not boilerplate tasks.

Programming in Objective-C 2.0

Programming in Objective-C 2.0 provides the new programmer a complete, step-by-step introduction to the Objective-C language. The book does not assume previous experience with either C or object-oriented programming languages, and it includes many detailed, practical examples of how to put Objective-C to use in your everyday programming needs.

Objective-C has become the standard programming language for application development on the Mac OS X and iPhone platforms. A powerful yet simple object-oriented programming language that’s based on the C programming language, Objective-C is widely available not only on OS X but across many operating systems that support the gcc compiler, including Linux, Unix, and Windows systems.

Cocoa(R) Programming for Mac(R) OS X (3rd Edition)

Suitable for anyone with a little C/C++ programming experience who wants to create software for the newest Mac platform, Cocoa Programming for Max OS X provides a slickly packaged and approachable tutorial that will get you started creating state-of-the-art Mac programs. This book covers the several dozen built-in Cocoa controls, from basic text and buttons to more advanced widgets (including lists and tables). Subsequent sections look at user interface design (using the Interface Builder to create nib files) and how to add programmatic processing behind the visual layout. Along the way, the author introduces coverage of essential Cocoa APIs for strings, arrays, and dictionaries. Later chapters look at saving and loading documents (and user defaults) and how to tap the powerful graphics abilities available in Cocoa. (Besides image and basic drawing, there are short sections on PDF support and printing.)

And finally if you are getting confident and want to add some cool and sleek features on your apps:

Core Animation for Mac OS X and the iPhone

Core Animation is one of the coolest technologies to come out of Cupertino in many years. It makes doing all sorts of cool things in your application not just possible, but downright easy. Core Animation opens up worlds of possibilities for your applications’ user interface. The problem is, Core Animation is not intuitive. Even an experienced programmer can expect to spend a lot of time with Apple’s documentation before he or she will grok the terminology and concepts of this new framework well enough to use be proficient. Fortunately, the author has already gone through the trouble of doing that and has taken the time to break it all down into digestible chunks, explaining the concepts and terms in plain English, and setting out exercises that reinforce your understanding of those concepts.

The new iPhone 3G is pretty similar to the current model from outside but from inside has a lot of new features and new hardware.

The Fastest iPhone Ever

The first thing you’ll notice about iPhone 3G S is how quickly you can launch applications. Web pages render in a fraction of the time, and you can view email attachments faster. Improved performance and updated 3D graphics deliver an incredible gaming experience, too. In fact, everything you do on iPhone 3G S is up to 2x faster and more responsive than ever.

According to an article from Wired, (Actually, Wired is reporting on AppleiPhoneApps’ rumor, an insider from Apple’s hardware team has leaked the next generation iPhone specs, along with a speculated release date of July 17. Many of these specs leaked go along with the screenshots of things we’ve seen lately, including the digital compass, video recorder and video editing. The full list of possible specs include:

• 32GB and 16GB to replace current capacities
• $199 and $299 price-points to be maintained
• 3.2 Megapixel camera
• Video recording & editing capabilities
• Ability to send a picture & video via MMS
• Discontinuation of the metal band surrounding the edge of the device
• OLED screen
• 1.5X The battery life
• Double the RAM and processing power
• Built-in FM transmitter
• Apple logo on the back to light up
• Rubber-tread backing
• Sleeker design
• Built-in compass
• Revolutionary combination of the camera, GPS, compass, and Google maps to identify photo and inform about photo locations.
• Turn by turn directions
• July 17th, 2009 release date

OLED would be especially great, making the screen look nicer than it already is and have support for higher resolutions.

Next iPhone to be released in June to have a built-in magnetometer.

“We just got a couple images from one of our Apple ninjas and it appears to show a compass option in one of the debugging menus. Our source says this is obviously for a built-in magnetometer in the upcoming iPhone hardware revision and with what’s already been reported, we’d have to agree. One more image after the break!” from Boys Genius Report.

Rumors about the next generation iPhone continue, according to Digitimes, Apple is ordering new parts for the next iPhone due in June, since the first generation iPhone was released in June 2007 and iPhone 3G on June 2008 it makes sense that Apple will release a new phone in June, rumors about a new device, a netbook or tablet pc 10″ touch screen is also on the make and Steve Jobs is still in main operations even he is absent until June.

Rumors of an new entry level iPhone and a new iPhone 3G in July, the entry level iPhone will be and crippled iPhone for $99 without 3G networks, will relly on EDGE 2G, no GPS, probably no App Store due less speed on connection. The refreshed iPhone 3G suposed to have more resolution screen ate the same 3.5″ with 720×480 from 480×320 from the current model, the camera still a 2Megapixel but with video recording . Both handsets are expected at July like every iPhone release.
