Ask HN: Any iPhone developers want to chat about monetization?
My current project is a method for monetizing iPhone apps which is not (as far as I know) available to iPhone developers at the moment. I've been working on it with another developer (also a HN member) for a few months now. We're still a month or two away from talking about it in public and from a beta we can give to people (we're aiming for January), but we're at the stage where we have something we can show and talk about.
Both of us are also part-time iPhone developers (a couple of published apps in the store, a couple which Apple will probably never approve), so we're making this as much for ourselves as for anyone else, but we definitely want to test some of our assumptions. If you're an iPhone developer we'd love to chat about what we're doing, how it might fit in with your apps, how to make it as useful as possible for developers, possible pitfalls, etc. etc. The only carrot I can offer at this point is that our system would be invite-only in the near to medium term after launch, and we'd obviously first invite developers we've talked to before :)
If you're in the Bay Area (especially Berkeley or SF) we'd be happy to meet up over food/coffee/beer (our treat, of course).
Please drop me a line at alex@mobilefolk.com if you're interested.
P.S. if any hackers want to meet up and just chat about random stuff, that's always fun. Any HN meetups coming up?
