Very useful book 27 Jan 2010
By Tony S
Format:Paperback
Great book full of ideas and strategies. Works well as a guide for someone assembling a team to launch an app, or for developers who need more advice on how to market software than how to make it. It may gradually become outdated, but is still very relevant to today's market.

Great guide to a dynamic industry 7 Feb 2010
By Robert Eidson - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Are you interested in learning about how to monetize an iPhone app? Then this is your book. Unless you're a C++ "Cocoa-touch" programmer, then you won't be designing or creating applications. If you're like me, you know enough to know that you need to hire and manage someone to do the programming. This book covers project mangement, and everything else you should think about when designing your iPhone application.

In particular, this book covers the marketplace, business offering, terminology, success rules, and Apple protocols for both the design and submission process. In addition, if you're new to the business world, this book covers many of the basics of establishing the enterprise.

I currently own a magazine, and am building an iPhone application. This guide was helpful and I would strongly consider reading any other guides written by Aaron Nicholson, Joel Elad, & Damien Stolarz.

Excellent Resource 22 Dec 2009
By Design Diva - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
If you're interested in getting a comprehensive overview of the iPhone application world this book does that. It is great resource for those of us who are not development wizards, nor trying to be. If you want a book on how to write a code, find another. This one provides good, solid information on starting an application business--planning, marketing and selling. Well written and easy to understand. Looking forward to the next update of this book.

If You Have a Good iPhone App in You, This Book Will Help 5 April 2010
By Dave Mayer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This book won't tell you how to create an iPhone app. It will tell you how to hire developers to do it for you, but it won't guide you through getting your idea out of your head onto Apple's cool, hot iPhone. Still, even if you know how to write an app, and Apple has made it dead easy if you understand programming at all, you'll find a wealth of info here on how to set up your little business and market your app.

There are a bazillion apps out there now, but most of them are, as you probably know if you're reading this, junk. Finding the good ones can be challenging, but there is always room for more good ones and if you have a good one in you, this book will help you get your app noticed among all the clutter.
