I'd suggest that you generate your own experience if a lack of experience is a problem. Create iPhone apps that find movie listings, create websites that do something, put it on github, create a LinkedIn profiles, (it's a tech recruiter's best friend) and get connections with everyone you know, employed or not. Gain a reputation on IRC channels, stack overflow, forums and other programmer communities. Be willing to take one off contractor jobs that pay relatively low (but higher than some retail cashier job) and see them through to completion. Put all of that in your portfolio website advertising yourself with pictures, resumes, links and other things. Make them without any sort of revenue goal in mind so you don't limit yourself in your creations. You'll be creating experience and if you hit it off on something, might of created your revenue stream. Also non technical people use resume buzzwords as easy way to filter through a undefined mass of people. If you want to make an iphone app, your going to look for someone with iOS, iPhone, Objective-C and mobile in their resumes or portfolios. Even though you might pick it up and get up to speed to an experienced developer in a month or two, it's a month or two in money that they can avoid.
