Kanji Apps and the iPhone
After checking out the iChinese website, I’m looking forward to seeing some of the kanji Apps for the iPhone once the official iPhone SDK is out and third party apps become widely available.
During my years with the Palm and Windows Mobile, I used KingKanji. It was a good program that did a decent job of drilling kanji and it also offered excellent excellent expandability by allowing users to import their own lessons.
With the iPhone’s advanced high-rez touch display, I’m confident it will make for an excellent kanji learning platform. Perhaps some smart programmer will be able to take advantage of this unique hardware and release something that’s not a simple rehash of your typical kanji app.
Are there any particular types of apps that you’d like to see on the iPhone? I know at least one person who wouldn’t mind seeing Peggle on the iPhone.

Hello,
one kanji learning application for the iphone is Shinkanji.
It just came out on the appstore. Some of its functionalities are really original. Many updates are planned
