My First iPhone App

This is my first iPhone application written in iPhone OS 2.0 SDK. Unfortunately, it only runs on iPhone simulator not the real iPhone or iPod touch device. Even I use iPhone toolchain from third party to rebuild the source code, some UIKit classes are miss in current iPhone/iPod touch 1.1.4 firmware.
The purpose of this application is to help users to browse the UDN news items and read news page more easily. Rich content web pages with javascript are not user-friendly on mobile device and touch device. However, this might not have chance to run on iPhone platform due to Apple's App Store restrictions and 2.0 firmware.
iPhone SDK provides an integrated environment and simulator to develop applications easily. But under the restriction, the 3rd party iPhone toolchain and jailbreaked environment should be more useful for ordinary developers.
