Watching that YouTube video made me think, "That is a perfect platform for a quick Marble Madness type of game." Smile

Came across this article on Digg about improved graphics for the next gen of iPhones.

I guess that's good... Though it means that now there will have to be two code paths, and games will need to be tested on two models. I hope this doesn't happen too often, it could get expensive buying all these iPhones to test on!

Folks from outside the U.S. are now beginning to be accepted as iPhone devs... start your compilers...

Love

I found this image in the comments on the twaw page, which seems to indicate available countries:

I guess those are the available iTunes Stores for the $99 payment and not necessarily the countries in which the dev program is available, right?
(no, I haven't received an email yet, although I think the NDA would prevent me from saying I did if that was the case)

What is the difference between iTunes Stores and the dev program? Can't everyone download the SDK?

Yes, anyone can download the SDK, the thing is being accepted as a dev and given a signing key to run your apps on the actual hardware instead of just on the simulator. For that you need to pay the $99 fee, and I'm guessing that is done via the iTunes Store.
