I'll also add that at least one of my other ex-coworkers from said "hot, young internet startup" is also making a living off of iPhone apps. I think he's actually close to matching his previous salary. There's been a lot of press about these blockbuster iphone apps that rescue poor developers from poverty and change their lives. That's all well and good, but I think there is a more realistic middle ground that people should be aware of.
