The slight issue is that there is a high probability that you will need a Jailbroken iphone/iPod touch to be able to use said app.
The other possibility is of creating an i.court-records.net, that is completely optomized for the iphone.
Opinions, anyone?
The reason of jailbreaking is so that:
Developer's lisences cost 100$ (I'm flat out broke at the time being
)\And, my mac is acting really weird, so I would need to use windows to make the app. And apple doesn't have a program for windows users
Well, EDIT.
There's a theme for Court-Records designed specifically for the iPhone now! Comment on it, and ect!

If there is enough awesome potential, I'd be glad to donate money towards the developers fund. I bet others would too.
That still leaves the mac problem, but requiring jailbroked iPhones really cuts down the potential user base.

i might be able to develop it on a hackentosh, but I'm not sure how hackentoshes work...
The potential features would be:
download updates from the site,
watch trailers
potential forum access
view character profiles
view case descriptions
more features, then this probably ^_^

But if we're offering an app, we'll want to make it worth their time to download an install. Items like offline character profiles, sound effects, and swag catalog might be interesting.
Also, the developer kit is free. The license to put it in the official app store costs money.
In any case, I'm interested in this project.

there is an html script that you can put on sites to optimize the page for iphones.
Hmm... I'm actually on my ipod right now, so its hard to type in ideas ^_^

If we plan to share the same pages with the rest of the web, I think all we'd need is a specially designed and tagged CSS file. (And tons of ripped graphics!)
I've got the developer kit, but I've only got a most basic knowledge of Cocoa and C++. It would be a fun educational experience to design but I'd have to research designing a native app more to decide if it's in or out of my league yet.
Still, you gotta start from somewhere.

I'm learning how to make apps myself, actually
But we could do a collaberation project if you would want to work on it
^_^
It would be cool to optimize the forums for iphones

I can work on the app on fridays (I hang out a the library that has macs)
I'm attempting to install mac on my windows to be able to work on it at home.

And... do you think they'll let you install the developer tools on the library macs? You need administrative access to install it.

I'm not entirely sure why, but...
Either way, I can still use 'em
Now, all I need to do is install OS X on my PC...

It's an excellent project idea, but I think it should remain separate from the app project.
Then again, if we're intent on going through Cydia, it likely wouldn't matter.

I can't really help out with anything besides giving moral support. ^_^;; And hoping that it wouldn't just be for jailbroken iPhones/iTouches. Because I don't really want to haXor my phone.

I'm going to try to reverse boot-camp my pc and try to install mac os x on it.
If I can do that, then we can just go through the app store.

If we're going through the App store, then I'd rule off using anything extracted from the games. So no sprites, no sound clips. Promotion art should be okay, along with press-kit screen shots however. Anything we make ourselves based upon the franchise is free game. But plagiarizing I do not believe would win us anything.

I guess it could be optimized for fanworks... you could read fanfics, hear remixes, fanmade sprites ect.
And if we somehow got Capcom's permission, then we could post sprites.
A kind of illegitimate way would be to release a copyright-free app, then release an "update" on Cydia that merged with the original app and added the extra features.
I recall seeing that when my iPod was still jailbroken.
There was a "Jokes" app or something like that and on Cydia there were extra jokes that could be added to the original "Jokes" app.

There is actually an app on the store called "forums"
its very poor, but it allows the reading of online forums.
I hooked it up to C-R and got the last, say... 7 or so posts...
*EDIT*
I tried the app and got the last 20 updated forums.

It ought to work out pretty well.
I've almost installed Mac OS X on my PC, so all I need to do is:
1. Get a hold of the developer kit
2. Find out where the $100 dollars is going to come from
3. Make the app :D
I'm not sure how the app will work with updates... I suppose that:
1. Find the updates on the app store by just logging on to it
2. We could make an announcement on the main page talking about the app, and subsequently post information when it comes time to update (post the new features, ect)
The issue I see is giving the app an online system for updates, and offline for plain information.
because when say, GS5 comes out, there'll be a whole lot of updates :)

eh...
Is there a way to download the kit without signing up for the developer program?
And I presume the app isn't going to cost anything
:)
Also, with sprites being blacklisted, does that mean that character profiles is going to cause problems?
An app that kind of looked similar to a design theme that could be good was ironicly capcom's mobile app.
It had listings of all of it's developing games, with updates from the site.
It doesn't have an offline mode, however.

When you get your OS DVD. There's an additional folder on the disk called 'Optional Installs' You'll find the Dev kit installer in there.
Additionally, you can join the Apple Developer Connection for free. (As a Student, You also have an opportunity for a one time developer hardware discount, useable at your own discretion). It's just joining the app distributors that cost money.

Who are we going to release the app under as developers?
Like the company that wrote it?
And what should we name the app?
I'm just trying to come up with the creative parts while I can't access a mac.

I suppose we could start by releasing the app on cydia after it is completed to see people's opinions of it.

As for iPhone specific programming, I've yet to go to my local book store, but I am looking at these iTunesU Video lessons. They seem as good a start as any, and considering they're free, I can't complain yet, in spite of my still downloading the first lesson, and consequently not viewing the content yet.

It made me rethink my original plans for working on the app.
I guess coming up with what we want the app to look like would be the first step.

I completed the first lesson on iTunes U. The only 'important' caveat is that the free SDK allows access to the iPhone simulator, but not demoing the app on your personal iPhone. Considering I do not foresee us doing anything more complicated then 1 finger gestures and 'maybe' changing the angle 90 degrees. This shouldn't stop us.

I need to clean out the needless items on my ipod to be able to download the whole curriculum.
By rotating 90*, do you mean like a horizontal mode?
Or...?
