Welcome to the Rockbox Technical Forums!
I read an article by an Apple employee who wrote a tutorial to show how to create a small iPod app using SnoBol (?) which would play a QuickTime movie.
I don't really care whether the Verb app I write is RockBox or iPod native... I guess whichever is easier to write, and realistically, a format that I can get some support for when I'm trying to make it work. There does not seem to be a lot of action in the iPod forums for this kind of stuff, so I suspect the RockBox community is a more likely to have some helpful people like yourself lurking about
Any ideas or suggestions appreciated
According to the mactech.com site, the author is Tim Monroe. I have no idea if it is in fact an April Fool's joke, but there was a lot of work put into writing this fairly long article. There are no comments or threads for the article so it's hard for me to tell what the story is. Based on the iPod screens he provides, it seems he was working on an early iPod with a B&W screen, and the article itself dates back to 2004.
Given what you're saying about not being able to develop apps for the Apple firmware, I'm not sure how this relates to iPod games that are sold through iTunes... Before changing over to Windows formatting I had several games on my iPod, and 3 of them were for SAT Prep, which is a kind of "lookup app" with questions and answers in a database... I guess this would mean that the company that makes the games (I think it was "Pop Can" or something) was somehow privileged to have the "secret" programming information from Apple that allowed them to develop these games ?
Could you tell me exactly (or more specifically) where I should be looking for "Plugin API" (Application Programming Interface ?). Is it here on the RockBox forum, or should I be looking elsewhere on the "Internets" ?
