Objective-C and C code can be freely mixed. I have already done it in
Mac OSX and in the iphone. I manage Cocoa from OSX using Harbour and
also used the GUI from Harbour in the iphone. So I guess I may be able
to use the ipad GUI from Harbour too. Next step (just for fun) :-)

But due to recent (and very much commented) Apple modifications to its
licence, it is not allowed to use any code "translator". They only
allow to use their development tools. So we can't use Harbour to build
"offcial" applications. This can only be used for private and personal
use (I guess). Anyhow it seems as both in USA and Europe, legal
investigation has started to proceed against Apple for monopolistic
practices regarding this issue, but it will require a long time before
this could force Apple to modify its licence (Novell, Adobe, and many
others (us too) are very much affected cause this Apple licence
change).
