Can you tell us a little about developing an iPhone app? How hard is it, what would you compare it to, what tools did you use, and so on?

It's fairly common for UI development tools to offer some drag n drop junk. Interface Builder is what you get for Mac/iPhone development.
However, most UI tools just generate a ton of ugly code or markup under the covers. So then when you need to add something through code, you have to integrate with the nasty generated code.
In iPhone development, IB doesn't generate icky code. If you need to interact with a UI component through code, you simply create a property called an "outlet" which serves as a pointer to the UI component you need to interact with. It keeps everything very clean and separated.

Me too. I just downloaded to my iPhone. Congrats on the app!
(This should entitle me to bother you with my own iPhone development questions. )
