Yeah...Steve Jobs eating an iPhone...that would be funny! Maybe I could write an app that does that!! : )<br>

I know that Objective C is what iPhone is based upon but not sure about Android (haven't looked that one up yet). Assuming it's something of the C family. GCC sounds like a winner so will try that route....thanks! <br>
