VolnaTech is a company that tries to help others, since a software development kit for the iPhone/iPod Touch platform is nothing but pure gold for those in this field of work. The software development tool they are developing is called NimbleKit, and it allows programmers to build iPhone apps much easier, simply by usinh HTML and Javascript! Pheew, that's awesome - you can finally forget about learning Objective-C!

Available for $99.00, the NimbleKit SDK requires Mac OS X Version 10.5.5 or higher, as well as iPhone SDK 2.2 or higher. While you can play with it without registering, the apps created will only run on the iPhone simulator that's part of the iPhone SDK. To purchase NimbleKit, just go here. No, it's not another App Store link... ;)
