great technical products are [...] almost always the vision of just a few people.
Platforms, yes -- consistency goes a long way there, and a few coherent voices can build something where all the pieces work well together.
Applications? 'the talented few' still need access to the platform. The question is, is there a way for a few, talented people to develop and deploy the killer iPhone app?
That's not a rhetorical question -- is there such a route?
- allenbrunson 18y agoi believe that there very much is. the iphone sdk is really, really good. you can get up to speed quickly. it's a shame that apple is not giving out many of the developer keys yet. but if you're serious about this, that shouldn't be much of an impediment. you can still develop for the iphone simulator. and if you really, really need to see your app on a real iphone, you can jailbreak your phone. it's not what apple wants you to do, of course, but i really doubt they're going to disqualify developers who use that method for testing.
