I was wondering if there is a good IRC channel around somewhere that allows iPhone developers to get together and talk about code and etc.

Any channel already around that people are using?

It's #iphonedev on irc.freenode.net. Without the dash.

There's also #cocoa-init. It's a new channel focused on asking and answering questions for beginning developers on iOS/OSX.

the people on #iphonedev are not very friendly.

I've found the various iphone channels on irc.osx86.hu to be helpful.

As far as I know, the NDA that Apple forces iPhone developers to sign would prevent them from participating in such a discussion.

EDIT: See the comments to my answer. Apparently the NDA was lifted as of 10/01/08. So if the sort of resource you are looking for doesn't exist now, hopefully it will soon.

    The NDA has been lifted on October 1st, so that's not a concern anymore. – jpm Nov 13 '08 at 21:42
  • Good to know. I'll leave my answer just so that your comment will be seen and credited to you but change my answer to community wiki. – EBGreen Nov 13 '08 at 21:52
