Richard,

I am starting some iPhone/iPad development investigation and am curious if
anyone here is doing any work using iPhone/iPad with iSeries ?


I am, although currently the "with iSeries" qualifier is indirect. My work
is using the ipod Touch with Linea Pro laser barcode scanner / credit card
swipe (the sled used by Apple in their stores for POS transactions). It is
an order entry / data collection front end to a sales automation system I
wrote for a client, which then passes the orders to the iSeries. It runs on
the iphone and ipad too but without the laser barcode / swipe. (I do scan
via the camera though it is not near as nice as a laser scanner.)

This replaces scanners running palm os. The iphone has enough more
capability and horsepower that ultimately I want to tie directly to the
iSeries instead of only passing to my PC based sales automation system.

If you are just starting looking at development alternatives, I recommend
you consider Appcelerator (www.appcelerator.com ) instead of using XCode.
It isn't fully mature yet, but has a good foundation. And when you need a
feature it does not yet have, you can code just that portion in XCode. For
example, that is how I coded my Linea Pro integration.
