Default Developing iphone apps.......

Anyone looked into this??

Anyone with the coding/graphic skills to actually make one??

From the little research i have done, the business model seems rather straight forward.

I haven't looked into it but as far as I can tell Apples approval process can be very slow and painful. You need a very good idea, marketing and a good price then Apple take their cut. It's probably not the gravy train it initially seems to be. Oh and you need to be an Apple developer at something like $1000 a year.

The approval process can be a pain, but from what i have researched the reason for delays given by Apple have all been along the same lines.
Namely: 'offensive/political material' and 'use of apples logos, pics of macs and simular styled protocalls/symbols already used on the iphone'

Granted its no easy money maker.......

Here are a couple of interesting links from 2 developers at either end of the scale:

and
