I know I don't have as much experience as some of the other HN users here, but I think it's definitely possible to succeed with no experience as long as you're willing to try. My cofounder and I have a similar story. We are building our first iPhone app with no prior design or programming experience and it's taken us 11 weeks so far. We've improved leaps and bounds and we've rewritten parts of the code over and over again if we find a better way to do it. There's bound to be some bugs here and there like all apps, but I'm confident we'll launch a solid product. We've had our first startup already where we hired freelancers and it was a flop, before we decided to finally do everything ourselves and force ourselves to learn to design and code. I just started a blog about it today (blog.grooovy.me). Either way, I wish you good luck.
