"So, what am I missing? Why are (some small number of smart) people pounding their heads against the wall rather than develop for iPhone?" Annual development fees == bad ! I hope that helped you understand why a few of us have reservations about developing for the IPhone. I developed Win32 apps once, including for WinME phones. I didn't have to pay annual fees to Microsoft. I (for one) will never develop for the IPhone as long as they charge annual development fees - basically I have to rent the right to develop from Apple annually. No Thanks!
