Hello guys, I'm fairly new to iOS developement, so please don't be harsh on me

I've been looking into creating a fairly simple tweak for Jailbroken iPhones, a script that reads the current song, and prints it to a file that can be read by an external Java application.

Haven't started to tinker with it yet, simply because I have no idea where to start. I am guessing that I'd have to hook into the iPod app to get the necessary strings, and to make it update properly when a song is changed.
Though googling for a while, I cannot find any tutorial explaining this kind of thing. The coding itself shouldn't be a problem, I just need somewhere to start.
(Note I do have a few books on cocoa coding, the iPhone SDK and so, I have the latest xTools, probably everything that should be needed, FYI)

If anyone can provide me with help in this matter, it would be greatly appreciated!

regards

The iPhone doesn't support Java.

Yes, it sort of does. When jailbroken, there is support for HTML/Java widgets on the lockscreen and springboard, capable of FE grabbing/displaying weather info from external websites.

And that is not really relevant to my question at all, too?
