Don't want to rain on your parade, but from your comments it looks like you are vastly underestimating the kind of commitment and effort that it takes to successfully take an idea to market. No matter how good your idea is, you still need to be able to execute on it and bring it into reality. You should go ahead and do it, if for no other reason than by the end of the experience you will have a much better idea of what you really need in order to get it done. I would say definitely do the code yourself, just so you can understand how much it would really cost to get someone else to do it. Hint: it's going to cost more than $500 to some guy in India.
