native applications and

web applications.



The iPhone application developer utilizes the tools and technologies in SDK to develop native applications. It is much like developing applications for MAC OS X. Moreover, an iPhone simulator facilitates the testing and debugging of the applications before they are ready to be used.

For the web applications, the availability of standard web application development tools comes as a boon. iPhone uses finger impressions as inputs rather than a mouse. This raises the need for iPhone specific web pages and it is known as iPhone website development.

The other challenges that an iPhone application developer faces are the variations in display size of web pages, namely wide-screen and portrait screen. All these make the iPhone website development distinct from the simple website development.

With the launch of iPhone, Apple has opened up a newer market for development of customized applications for iPhone. It is because iPhone has a wide and an increasing customer base.
