If so, are there translation issues when going from the PC original program to the application on the iPhone? My son and I have been discussing this issue without a resolution, do any of you have experience with this idea?

Mac & iPhone applications can share a lot of common code, but honestly from the way you phrased the question it sounds like you really need to sit down and read the Apple Documentation and start learning what Foundation is and what UIKit is. In short if you have any serious intentions of developing apps for the Mac or iPhone, do the following: 1. Get a Mac if you don't have one 2. Install the Developer Tools (includes Xcode) 3. Go through tutorials on Cocoa/Objective-C or get a book. I'd personally reccomend "Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X" by Aaron Hillegass ( http://www.amazon.com/Cocoa-Programming-Mac-OS-3rd/dp/0321503619/ref=pd_bbs_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1238261077&sr=8-1) any other way of developing Mac/iPhone applications is just pure delusion as far as I am concerned. If you get stuck there is Apples cocoa-dev mailing list and the Des Moines Cocoaheads which can help you. On Sat, Mar 28, 2009 at 11:44 AM, Norman L.
