Is there any iPhone development community blogs where a user can create an account and start blogging to get more exposure?
There is iDevBlogADay where you can get added exposure for your blog posts, at least to fellow developers.
There's iPhone Dev SDK. It doesn't QUITE match what you asked for, however there is a forum where you can do "shameless advertising" and stuff like that

As the title says have you got any available resource to start developing for iPhones?
Books, Online resources, tools, development environment, pre-requisites and everything is related to iPhone programming will be good!
Thanks
Assuming you are a beginner, for books, this list is a good place to start

Apple and Stanford have a free class in iTunes that you can download and follow along. It is taught by Apple engineers to beginners.

Finally apple has a wealth of reference and tutorial type information.

It depends on what your looking into doing. But the developer site always has lots of examples and all of the methods/class/references you can use.
http://developer.apple.com/
Of course you can always post questions or search them on google/stackoverflow.
If your looking for like books, you can check out the public library. Free books for reference are always good.
I just recently started programming for iPhone as well so I can pass on the resources that have helped me immensely.
eBooks:
http://www.techotopia.com/index.php/Objective-C_2.0_Essentials
http://www.techotopia.com/index.php/IPhone_iOS_4_Development_Essentials_Xcode_4_Edition
Tutorials:
http://www.raywenderlich.com/
The eBooks I have linked are both absolutely fantastic and one of the few xCode 4.0 books that I was able to find that seemed to be of an actual usable quality. They both contain easy to follow and clear tutorials on simple and more advanced aspects of programming for iOS.
Ray's site is an immensely helpful resource as it contains both a very active forum base for iOS programming in addition to a constantly growing tutorial collection as there are 4-5 people that constantly are creating new tutorials that the community votes on and suggests every week. It contains some more advanced topics than the above books and I would recommend looking at it after doing a few walk through/tutorials from the books.
You are also on a pretty good site already for clarifying questions you cannot find covered elsewhere :D
Best of luck!

i am very new to iphone development. however i have some experience in flex(flash) and web (ajax) development experience. can u guy suggest some good resources for people like me.
thanks in advance!
Welcome to the iOS community first of all; for the most rich and detailed resources I'd go to Apple's Dev Website (https://developer.apple.com/devcenter/ios/index.action). The Apple Dev forums (https://devforums.apple.com) is a great area to ask questions to developers; especially concerning NDA-builds (i.e. the current NDA build is the 4.2 beta). stackoverflow is a great area too!
Hope I answered your question! :)
So in previous questions about iPhone development on Windows, the basic/easy answer has been "just get a mac." However, I noticed a comment that mentioned DragonFireSDK. But no one else said anything about it?
Has anyone tried this? It look pretty legit to me, but I'm new to the iPhone world. I just find it weird that no one has discussed this yet. I mean, it looks like the perfect tools for the Windows users.
Thanks!
Oh yeah....here's the link to DragonFireSDK: DragonFireSDK
EDIT: This app is for my website, We, the Pixels. Any comments on if Dragonfire would be a good fit for an iPhone version of my website? Thanks!
DragonFireSDK is good, I have been developing several apps with it, the first of which is now available, a game called Firefox Fun: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/firefox-fun/id393933733?mt=8
Yes, I use DFSDK and got my apps published to apples appstore using the sdk. they have good API it lets you use c/c++ to create your app.
I have been programming in Microsoft Dot net for the past 4 years. Now, I want to develop an iPhone application. I have no idea where to start. I do not know anything about MAC OSX or any other Apple "words":). Searches on the google about books and online articles fetch a lot of results which is confusing. It would be great if anybody can share their beginner's experience. Thank You.
I've learn all about iPhone programming with this great book: Beginning iPhone 3 Development.
I found it surprisingly easy to pick up. The Apple dev center includes a lot of sample code, and because it's the programming language du jour, there's a lot of forum links and StackOverflow questions about it, as well as plenty of people looking to answer new questions.
It's pretty satisfying to do too, if you've never done mobile development before.
Get yourself a machine and download XCode, the supplied Apple IDE. It's a bit lamer than Eclipse right now, but the new version which is on the verge of release looks much better. Grab yourself access to the developer center (which is worth the investment) and build a simple App or two. Get to know Interface Builder first, because you may not have worked with things like this before.
There are some idiosyncracies in the syntax and whatnot, but you get used to it pretty fast. And then come here and ask more questions. :)
I just ran through this tutorial to get familiar with XCode and Interface Builder.
Then joining a local group about it should be helpful - I'm a member of the Iphone London Users Group and chats with other developers is the most useful tool I have to find out how to do things.
I want to be able to let users of my iPhone app communicate using the GKVoiceChatClient classes. The documentation for the 3.0 SDK is very vague and I don't see any good samples in the Sample Code either.
Can someone please tell me where I can find some working example of in-game voice using which I can learn how to use it!
Thanks.
You'll need an account on the Apple Developer forums, but I stumbled across this a little while ago. I don't know if its functional but comments further along in the thread lead me to believe it is.
