Whats a good one with support for 4.0. I've heard about Gamesalad that has support for 4.0 but thats for games only. Can you recommend a good dev kit with native app support.
thanks

It's a Javascript API, pretty decent, i've got one app in the appstore i made with it and im working on an ipad app currently.
iOS 4 support is built-in but still being worked on at the moment and there will be a release soon which is more solid on 4 features and addressing a few current issues.
community is pretty decent and growing too.it's free so i'd say just have a play if you know javascript.

so when you say "for designers"
us folks that are "code" ignorant, would be able to use this?
is this some sort of "dreamweaver" for mobile apps?

it's not for the "code ignorant" you need to have a pretty good understanding of javascript.
but just compare the learning curve of javascript with that of objective-c. javascript wins over, but of course there are always drawbacks with using tools like Titanium (the tool made by Appcelerator) - you don't get quite the same access to the iOS APIs, so your apps are slightly limited.it all depends on what you want to achieve, the only way to properly assess whether it will do what you want is to look at the (somewhat unfinished) documentation, the community online and by trying it out.
you can download Appcelerator's "Kitchen Sink" app which has loads of examples of the APIs in use.
