Ok, so I've made my base template, downloaded and utilized the teehan+lax iPhone GUI 3.0 PSD, and I'm not a retard so I know which direction I'm headed. But... I'm looking for a general set of rules/guidelines/procedures that explain things like iPhone system fonts installed, minimum point sizes, and basically anything else pertinent to the design for the iPhone. Does that exist, and if so, where?
I already Googled, before anyone asks ;)

i dont know the answer to ur question but are you building this or just designing it ?

there is a PSD floating around out there w/all the 'standard' buttons that are in the iPhone OS...
... I have it around here somewhere - I've designed a few apps and have never been told that any of the custom items I've created (buttons etc) were unusable... but it has been stressed by developers that if possible - use the OS buttons / standard stuff. :)

they are very hard-nosed about their interface guidlines:
http://developer.apple.com/iphon…
On the other hand, you also have to be careful about what of their interface you do use. I've read about certain apps being turned away because the developer mimicked the speach bubbles too closely.

this code lists all the system fonts:
int i = 0;
int j = 0;
for (i = 0; i < UIFont familyNames] count]; i++)
{
for (j = 0; j < UIFont fontNamesForFamilyName:UIFont familyNames] objectAtIndex:i]] count]; j++)
{
NSLog(UIFont fontNamesForFamilyName:UIFont familyNames] objectAtIndex:i]] objectAtIndex:j]);
}
}... and here they are:
