Google has announced that Objective-C, language used for developing Mac OS X applications, can also be used for iPhone application development. This is going to be really helpful for developers who are planning to integrate Google services in their iPhone applications.  The source files in the latest version 1.4 of the Objective-C Client library can be compiled under the iPhone SDK.

The Objective-C library provides support for the latest Google Data APIs such as:

• Google Base
• Blogger
• Calendar
• Code Search
• Contacts
• Documents List
• Notebook
• Picasa Web Albums
• Spreadsheets
• YouTube

So, now you can have your application post a blog on Google Blogger, sync Contacts with Google Addressbook or upload videos to YouTube.  It will be interesting to see what will come out of it.

You can check out the details of the GData Objective-C Client project on Google Code or download Objective-C Client library.
