Hi,
Well I have done some reading on this and I'm not too enthused with what I have found;
Below is a list of items you’ll need (*starred items are required, the rest are nice-to-have’s):
- join the Apple iPhone Developer Program ($99) *
- get iPhone or iPod Touch *
- get an Intel-based Mac computer with Mac OS X 10.5.5,
- prepare a Non-Disclosure Agreement (here’s a sample) *
- download and install the latest version of the iPhone SDK if you don’t already have it.
- a spiral bound notebook*

For me to create a TriBlogs app its going to take me a number of hours, +£400 worth of kit. I'm going to need x80 of £5 purchases to even get my investment back let alone be able to eat ;(
Maybe if I had 80+ definite users I would but so far there has only been 5 users that have shown interest!
