First fruits of the iPhone SDK: ToDo App

Sometime yesterday afternoon, as soon as her download finished, our friend and colleague turned up her iTunes, closed her office door and tore into the iPhone SDK with all the excitement of a kitten attacking a new skein of yarn. 24 hours, not much sleep and a diet of flat food later, she emerges with her quarry: a shiny new application for iPhone and iPod touch, ToDo App.

This marathon initial effort provides basic todo list features -- adding, listing and deleting. Here's the catch: for now, the only place you can run it is inside the Aspen simulator in Xcode; as soon as Apple starts delivering signing keys to registered and paid developers, those will allow the app to be loaded and tested on physical phones.

In addition to the coding frenzy, Erica found the time to revise her iPhone frameworks documentation and header notes to version 1.2, which reflects the SDK edition. After a long sojourn in the wildnerness of the community toolchain, the iPhone devs can see what appears to be the promised land. Here's to the crazy ones.
