I soon discovered, get this... if you write such an app for the iPhone:
a) The phone must always be on. No going to sleep, no suspend mode.
b) The app must always be in 'foreground'
c) The screen must be unlocked.
So that means if a Mactard decided to use such an app, they'd have to walk around with the iPhone in one hand constantly stroking it to ensure that it doesn't lock. Come to think of it, they probably do that anyways but my statement about below-average intelligence still stands.
Out of interest, what is involved in developing applications for the iPhone? Is there an IDE that you can use?
