Settings App

An interesting view into why the settings for iPhone apps are in the Settings App by the developer of Tweetie (my favorite iPhone Twitter app). The article points out two problems with the way settings work on the iPhone. One is that third party developers cannot access their own code in the Settings app itself, which keeps them from fully utilizing the settings app. The other issue is that developers are choosing to bypass the settings app altogether, in favor of building the settings within their app. Unless Apple changes the SDK for third party settings, most will use their iPhone the wrong way.
