I have just previewed the first incarnation of the sliced graphic for the web application side to our project.
Essentially there wil be a web app for printing things off which were first created by the iphone out in the field during the working day. Download times looked a little slow but it is great to see things in working code rather than a large photoshop file with hundreds of layers in different groups!

Activation
today we baccame officially approved and activated iPhone developers.
So far we have nothing to submit, but we wanted to check out the tools available to us via the developers web log in and to make sure this was in place before we got too far in and for some reason were declined!

Becoming a registered developer
This took a fair bit of time, whether Apple are snowed under with requests or just not that efficient, I don't know.
I think I chased this for a few weeks though, maybe a month or more even, come to think about it.
Basically you apply to register, then the good folks at Apple Incorporated request a few documents from you to prove you are
a>real
b>an existing company
c>incorporated
One of the documents is proof of company incorporation from companies house (UK), however my family firm didn't have this as we were first registered in 1946 and it was something obscure like the working companies register or something. this really messed with Apple and they said it wasn't acceptable (at first!!!)
Finally they did accept it after a variety of additional proof of the company's existence and a number of emails with an increasing degree if imptaience reflected in the text on my part!
Anyhoo, all is good with those nice Apple folks as we were accepted and should receive the activation code within 24 hours...this was maybe 3 weeks ago. 3 emails in the last week and no reply so far.

The Beginning
it must be a while ago now, I had this (what I considered to be) great idea for an iPhone app, and it seemed like a no brainer to me. This was when I had the first generation iPhone. So I made a few enquiries and didn't really go anywhere with it at first, a few visuals in Photoshop and a few sketchy pages as the specification.
Richard and I work together already on a variety of projects, internet services, web design and such and we have hooked up together on bigger projects in the past.
The first stage was to find a developer to work with that had experience with the native coding for the iPhone with ourselves handling most of the web based stuff, server space, domains, websites etc
Richard has heaps of resources and contacts so we gained a contact through one of his resources and I set about writing a detailed spec for the web app and native app along with heaps of visuals of the interface, menu's and app screens.
