    Hi there,

    Apple have just released my first iPhone app, "3D Planets".

    http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=320254822&mt=8

    It was modelled in Blender, and exported to Shiva ( www.stonetrip.com ).

    It was chosen as a simple 3D app to let me get to grips with 3D development on the iPhone, as well as the release mechanism. Since release, I've focused on optimisation ( as well as on developing other apps of course :), so the next update will be a LOT smoother on older iPhones.

    In the app info, I explained a bit about the way I'm aiming to release apps ( which is similar to how 90% of other iPhone developers for small apps work ) - release a working v1.0, then release updates in stages ( eg optimisation, new features based on user feedback etc ).

    Anyhoo - I'm looking forward to getting more involved with the iPhone development scene!

    Cheers rockey - was a great feeling to see it get approved!
    I've just submitted a more optimised v1.1 - as soon as you hit submit, 60 minutes later and a bit of messing about = cool new feature for the next version!
