Here is my first application for iPhone.  It is a simple RSS widget that reads the headlines and full posts from my goal setting blog.  Hello world!

I do not have an iPhone or an iPod touch — yet — so if you have either of these devices would you please, please download it and try it out?  I would like to know that it works as well on the real device as it does on the emulator.

So why iPhone?

Almost every day, someone asks me if I am going to start developing for iPhone.  For months, I have been thinking about how “great” it would be to do some programming on that platform.  However I am very strapped for time.  And I am not sure that taking on another project would be in anyone’s best interest right now.

Well, curiosity got the best of me.  This weekend and last, I spent a lot of time building a hackintosh so that I could install the iPhone SDK.  I wanted to see if I could develop on my existing hardware so that I would not have to go out and buy a new computer which would take up more space, use more electricity and require my tweaking and maintenance.

I also wanted to see what I was getting into with the iPhone SDK before I invested a lot of money into development.  So far, I am not disappointed.
