Now programming your iPhone is even easier thanks to Jiggy. Jiggy is a mini IDE that runs right on the iPhone, making it essentially OS agnostic. You do all the programming via a Web interface and you code in Javascript with a few Jiggy/iPhone native calls. The code is fairly straightforward (here’s ‘Hello World’) and you can even add your own icons to the iPhone UI. This of course assumes you’ve already jailbroken your phone and can run Installer.app, but it’s a pretty cool proof-of-concept that will definitely grow into a good prototyping and mini-app programming system.
