[casual_games] Question about iphone game development

[Paul Steven]

Thanks for all the advice on the iPhone game development. I have now got 4
lovely books on the way so that should keep me busy for the next month or
so.

For anyone interested the books are 

Learn C on the Mac
Learn Objective-C on the Mac
Beginning iPhone Development
iPhone Games Projects

Hopefully these books don't end up gathering dust like many of my other
books seem to do due to always working around the clock on client work.

Is it true that Unity apps can only be downloaded over wifi? I heard that
using Unity adds 10 megs to the download.

I thought that Unity looked incredible, but I wanted to learn the core
iPhone platform before I started developing with something higher level.
