Hey everybody, really pleased a friend point me here.... interested in learning enough to determine if my dreams os a single useful tool which incorporate standard iOS app like Contacts, Calendar, Photo's, Text.... etc are is apipe-dream or actually something that can be accomplished with a wrapper of sorts. Maybe there IS a reason Apple doesn't integrate these apps well... though that is completely beyond me :) which is why I'm here.... to learn enough to decide if it can be done and if so, how much skill/effort it will require, so I can decide to try it or keep looking at all the AppStore apps which only come close. Not bashing, but it seems to me that this is critical for Apple... after-all, these are where we spend most of our time with the day-to-day management of life (data) and really creates the largest part of the "iphone" (or whatever) experience... if they can nail helping you get your life (data) organized and functional, why would you consider anything else :) Oh well, rambling when I should be reading..... thanks for having me. -ipadlvr.

Welcome @ipadlvr! Great place to start is the "how to" section and the Learning Path section here @buzztouch. LA

Thanks LA... doing that now... also looking around for some project overviews... to help me understand what's involved.... a little overwhelming but getting there.... thanks again! -ipadlvr.

@ipadlvr, It can be at first but all of it makes sense when you get to the trial and error part. I have faith in you! LA
