Im looking forward to making an application for the apple iphone but I need help finding a way to program it, I know apple has a iphone developers program for sale but I need to know if it can be programmed in any other language or program.

If you want to develop it yourself you need a mac. The iPhone SDK (which you need to develop no matter what) only works on a mac. It is Apple being heavy handed. If you don't want to learn objective-c you can use web development skills (html,css and javascript) and a tool like Phone Gap or Titanium. Or if you want to use Flash you can wait for the next release. They are adding a tool to let you develop an app in Flash and then compile it for you to release as a native app. Not sure when it's coming out though. Otherwise, Google for an app developer and pay them to build it for you.

Apps for the iPhone have to be programmed in Apple's proprietary language. You probably save some money. Barnes and Nobles has a couple of books you can buy about building your own app.

You have to use Objective-C with the Cocoa framework. But I think you can also compile flash games to iPhone, not sure if it's ready yet though. What else have you done before this? You can't just start making iPhone applications with zero programming experience. The Developer's program is just to actually get the applications on the iPhone/ iPod Touch and sell them, you don't have to pay to use Xcode and test in the Simulator. And you can jailbreak to put them on your own iPhone without having to pay $99 a year (not illegal).

If your iphone supports the java then u can develop your apps in J2ME . 1.if u don't want to code anything then according to your midi version download a suitable GUI editor 2 or just download J2ME development kit from sun website and code yourself.
