Do you think the $100 + a Mac barrier has been a damper on the crowds of would be teenage app developers?
- chris24 16y agoPerhaps... especially now with section 3.3.1. The other thing that's always irked me (I'm 16) is that Apple requires registered iPhone developers to be 18 or older in order to agree to the NDA. It's not a huge problem, but it's still another little barrier.
- gte910h 16y ago"Require" is very different than "check". Just tell them you're 18, and don't care. Just don't flaunt it. Or, found a company with the state ($30 in Georgia) and sign up for a corporate account.
- trin_ 16y agoi think the 1000€+ "entry fee" in form of a macbook is a much larger damper.
- muhfuhkuh 16y agoMac Mini, refurbished by PowerMax, 2.0GHz Core 2 Duo, 2GB RAM, 120GB HDD, in the library with a lead pipe. Seriously, that $1000 entry fee is halved (or less, depending on the Mini spec you're looking at) to about the price of a netbook. Or, you know, I've heard of people (cough) who run Hackintosh perfectly well and are developing apps without issue. Takes a bit of messing around a bit, but hey, kids usually have a bit of free time for this kinda thing.
