Here are some news from Ste:

A few of us have gotten together and created a channel, on freenode, called #iphone-hackers. This is a place where devs can come and hang out with each other to exchange ideas and work together, in what we hope will be a productive environment for all.

The channel is not for general iPhone or iPod Touch questions – there is an already-established channel, ##iphone, on freenode for that.

So, developers, feel free to come join us. We welcome you.
