Introduction

iPhone and iPod touch are sophisticated devices that combine the revolutionary Multi-Touch interface with powerful features, such as email and instant-messaging capability, a full-featured web browser, iPod, and, in iPhone, a mobile phone. iPhone OS is the system software that runs on iPhone and iPod touch. With the advent of the iPhone SDK, these powerful features are extended to include significant developer opportunities. In addition to creating web content for use on iPhone OS–based devices, developers can use the iPhone SDK to create native applications people can store and use on their devices.

iPhone 和 iPod touch 是融合了革命性的多点触摸技术和多种强大功能的复杂尖端设备，其功能包括电子邮件和即时通讯功能、全功能浏览器、iPod、以及——对于 iPhone 来说——移动电话。iPhone OS 是运行于 iPhone 和 iPod touch 上的系统软件。随着 iPhone SDK 的到来，其强大的功能进一步延伸，为开发人员提供了大量的机会。除了为基于 iPhone OS 的设备提供 Web 内容外，开发人员还可以通过 iPhone SDK 来创建本地应用程序，使人们能够在设备上直接储存和使用。
