Cocoa Programming For Mac OS X - Aaron Hillegass
The third edition of this excellent book just came out and I highly recommend it for anyone interested in Cocoa development or even iPhone development. This is a must have introduction to Mac programming and many many of the concepts in this book can be directly applied to the iPhone environment.
I too am looking forward to iPhone specific books becoming available when Apple lifts the developers NDA. Until then this is an excellent stand in.

A series of articles that cover Objective-C basics and plans to cover various iPhone Dev topics.

Article on "iPhone application price points and business models"
Greg Yardley at Pinch Media has a very interesting write up on iPhone application price points and business models. I've met Greg and Jesse of Pinch Media and they are great guys who have developed an iPhone analytics tool. They are also working on other tools to monetize iPhone applications. Give it a read and let me know what you think.
Learn Objective-C
There is a great little overview of the Objective-C language at Cocoa Dev Central. Its particularly good for experienced (C/C++ or similar) programmers who want to get started in Objective-C.
It even includes a good overview of memory management including an explanation of autorelease and release.
The same author, Scott Stevenson, has another tutorial focused on Objective-C 2.0.
The New York iPhone Software Developers Meetup
I've started the The New York iPhone Software Developers Meetup . Our first meeting is in a few weeks. If you are interested in iPhone development feel free to join the group and/or come on by. No particular level of experience or area of interest is required or assumed. Actually since it is so new, you can help define the direction the group takes.
If you think it should be hard core tech then say so and if you think it should take a business track or a mix speak up and let us know.
Hope to see you at a meeting.
iPhone SDK Fourth Beta is out
Fresh out of the oven the (called 5A258f) is out.
You can read the Release Notes on the Apple site. One big addition is that the simulator now supports OpenGL ES. Plus changes and fixes to the API including core location. I'm hoping it fixes a problem I've been having lately with stale locations.
A word to the wise, make sure you update the SDK before trying to update the iPhone OS. Just wait for it to finish downloading. It won't save you any time. I'm not going to tell you how I learned that.
