Google’s new GData Objective –C Client Library adds support for the Google Contacts Data API and YouTube API. So essentially, any applications written in Objective-C (including those created for the iPhone) will be able to take advantage of features such as uploading video to YouTube account or directly editing their Google account contacts.

According to Google blog post, GData Objective-C Client library is 100% compatible with the iPhone SDK.

“Perhaps you want your iPhone software to send photos to a Picasa Web Albums account, or keep a journal of phone calls automatically in Blogger. Maybe your iPhone application accesses a database of information from a Google Spreadsheet or from Google Base. With the Google Data APIs Objective-C Client Library, creating software for these tasks is straightforward.”

“If you are writing iPhone software, just drag the “GData Sources” group folder from the GData project file into your iPhone project, and use the GData APIs as you would when writing a Mac application.”

In an AjaxWorld Conference this week, Aptana had one of the more impressive presentations on how easy it is to develop Ajax applications for the iPhone.

They presented open source Aptana Studio IDE. It is a full Ajax development environment and it is available as a stand-alone as well as an Eclipse plug-in.

Integration with Eclipse provides developers with an interactive console as well as preview support for iPhone applications. Plug-in also supports preview with which you also see how the application will look like and how it will behave on an iPhone. This is achieved by integrating the plug-in with iPhone emulator.

The demonstration showed how to build a simple application. It was also explained how Aptana Studio includes options that enable developers to take full advantage of the iPhone user interface for sizing, resizing and left-to-right toggling. The result is that developers will get a real sense of what their applications will look like inside of iPhone.
