I have been approached by someone with links into several organisations through Apple, who want games developed. The idea is that you create a fully-specced game idea then submit it to them for approval and funding. The best bet is that I act as the intermediary for now.

The general specs are: games for the Olympic Games in London. No-one is seriosuly doing this right now, so there is a wonderful gap in the market. And, e-learning related games for the BBC and others.

So, if anyone wants to get involved in iPhone development, get back to me by a message at this site. And then we might set up a seperate group or space to support this.

And we should be getting some iPhone dev kits asap anyhoo ...

Dr John.
