Free tool for developing iPhone apps

A new iPhone development tool has been introduced by NonLinear Software. The company is offering the tool for free, and claims that it can be used to create a functioning app with no programming knowledge. appOmater helps build software that can play audio and video, link to slideshows, and display RSS feeds or web pages. Users can also build custom menus and buttons. After finishing an app people can upload a title to the App Store on their own, or use appOmator.com's App Management service and have the company take care of posting and managing software.
