We have a J2ME application which is basically a drill down three of a directory of service providers, with some search funcionality and option to save the favorites.
We would like to develop the very same application, now for Iphone.
We do not expect a simple conversion of the application, since we would like the new interface for Iphone to take full advantage of the very sophisticated interface.
A run time application will be provided for the selected bidders during the selection process.
We are very new to Iphone and we would appreaciate guidance from the bidders on how to approach this task.
Also, samples of your previous work will be appreaciated during the bidding process.

Regarding the application we have just posted for your reference, I would like to mention that it is not in English. To facilitate your analysis, I am describing the functionalities, translating each option. Firstly and foremost, let me explain what the application is all about. It is a directory, like a phone book. It has, currently, service providers of medical services. The Drill down is just a list that goes selecting first, the Type of Plan (not important, is just a category), then then it goes until it reaches the name of a service provider. When the service provide is selected, all the data related to that service provider is displayed, and the application give the option to add to favorites and to call the service provider, using the Phone number for the patient. One very important note: All the data is stored on the IPhone, not download from the internet everytime the users access it. Currently, we use a very good compression algorithm so that it will fit in a regular entry level cell phone. I am not sure how important it would be for Iphone but be aware that sometimes he have over 70.000 lines in the database. I can provide a sample .CSV with content if needed. STRINGS TRANSLATED. Voltar --> BACK Selecionar --> Select Pesquisar --> Search Lista de Favoritos --> Favorites (see all the recorded favorites) Sobre --> About (About box, just informative) Sair --> Exit Ligar(1) --> Call the Phone # 1 Ligar(2) --> Call de Phone #2 Adicionar aos Favoritos --> Add to Favorites List Sim - Yes No - No Tem certeza que deseja sair --> Are you sure you want to exit At this point in time, we will not use GPS services or any other advance feature. But we DO NEED to give to it a very nice interface, just like a very well developed IPhone Application. If there is any other string that needs translation, please, do not hesitate asking me.
