And then you should also know that "can not" is only 'legal speak', it really means; "you must ask, and/or pay".
SUN will be allowed to run interpreted code, if they ask and/or pay.
The Adium team will get to run in the background, if they ask and/or pay.

It's your life do what you like... and stop whining...
BTW stick to your N95 and who cares.

How can I "do what I like" when Apple won't approve people and cripples the API? Did you actually read the post?

Nah, it's not a waste. You're just temporarily discouraged at the limitations you've encountered.
Hey, the features you want aren't available on every phone, are they?
Cater to the iPhone audience. You can make some money and keep planning for the day when you *can* do the kind of iPhone app you want. And by then, you could be a better coder too.
Chin up!

Mike, It's that, but mainly that Apple's been strangely quiet about approving people. I wish they'd do it faster before we get discouraged.

Hey Mike,
Just let me say this, AT LEAST YOU HAVE iPHONE! Here in Canada, we are still waiting. How about you develop a cell phone company that will carry iPhone.
Then we will talk! Miranda

I haven't spend much time with the SDK yet, but it sure looks like you will be able to record audio. I even remember a line in the documenation that says something about if a pair of headphones is plugged in with microphone capabilities, then the build in mic will be disabled. Actually, on the home page of developer.apple.com/iphone there is a "How Do I... Record audio..."
Its probably a little premature to say that you can't access the doc or record video yet. They might still wash out too.

Ed: you're right. I was going by what another developer said about the SDK and I must have skipped over that point on the dev site. Still, you can't seem to record video.
Miranda: Move to the U.S. :)

A Vote Of Confidence For You... Read-on.
After working with Apple for 10 days over an error message I was receiving (when trying to upgrade my iPod touch to v2.0), I finally got the software installed. (had to accept the error and get on with my life, Apple never solved it -6972)
The only application in the entire App Store collection which I felt was worth having is Michael Gaines's, "WarcraftStat".
Reading the reviews of hundreds of applications leads me to believe the whole App Store thing is a silly game Apple is playing with it's customers. Most of the applications are nothing more than web-apps, re-packaged into "local" programs. The programs are trivial, many are written in great haste, and there are even a few the developer's themselves admit are not usable! (why those are still on the site is nothing but pure greed on Apple's part, less Apps means less visitors, and less revenue)
There are no Database applications (other than task list and note-pad apps) There are no Spreadsheet Apps. There are no PIM Apps. (My Palm TX is safe from obsolescence, sure you can use "Contacts", and warped "hacks" in Photos as well as pre-record your own audio... sloppy) There are no applications that use the accelerometer other than as a tilt-sensor (games) or as a simple low-frequency sound recorder, where are the 1/4 mile acceleration apps? How about an application that uses the accelormeter to measure power output from a vehicle? (weight of vehicle, force of acceleration, time = horsepower) And still no cut-n-paste!
Ok, I'm sorry, I got carried away... using Michael's bolg as a platform to vent my frust.

Good job on WarcraftStat!
Keep it up guy!
