Today I came across an interesting blog post from Jeff Lamarche, one of the authors of Beginning iPhone Development: Exploring the iPhone SDK. In the post he shows you how to create an alert box that accepts user input. Some of the underlying concepts may be a bit advanced for some people but you may be able to use his code in some of your projects.

Here is Jeff’s post:
