I'll be happy to talk to you about your app. I've been developing freelance iphone apps since day 1 of the beta. I've had apps featured at the All Things D conference, NY Times, all of the gadget websites and one of my apps was chosen as one of the top 20 apps of 2009 by a prominent magazine. I live an Ann Arbor MI, but I've done several projects from companies in CA including a prominent app for a San Jose based company. Please contact me via email and I'll turn all of this theoretical stuff into real names and places. <edit>My rate is $75 per hour, which is why I think many CA firms don't mind working with a remote resource<end edit>

I have a questions on the dynamics if you don't mind me asking... -is this your full time job and your sole source of income ? -are you able to find a normal amount of work just like a 9-5 job (i.e. 40 hours a week for 50 weeks -> 2000 billable hours a year)

  It is currently my full time job and sole source of income. When I first started, for about the first 4 months or so, I had a full time job and worked iPhone projects on the side. Since then I have been dedicated full time, once I realized I could do it. Of course there are ups and downs, so sometimes I'm working a couple of projects at once and working 60-70 hours, and sometimes I'm fighting to stay busy, but in general staying busy has not been the problem. Like this post though, given the amount of west coast work, I find myself working late most of the time. But that adjustment was not a big deal and many customers like that I have been working on stuff for them while they were still having breakfast.
