Wait a while and you will probably be able to program UIKit apps in Java (via the JamVM port to iPhone). Java would obviate the casual developers' need to install a toolchain, learn ObjC, etc. It would also allow them to use a good IDE (Netbeans, Eclipse, etc.)

Java on the iPhone wouldn't use Swing or AWT. Currently, the ObjC classes are all wrapped, but there will probably be another "layer of abstraction" added on top of that to make it resemble (API wise) Swing/AWT.

any ideas of when a java style developers kit will be available.

its all i really program in and dont fancy having to learn objective c, having hated normal c when i used it a year ago.

xcodetemplate.zip and phonedemos.zip produce 2 binary files (seems that way). Are these mac binaries? How do I look at the source? I am on a windows pc.
