[quote=sdcellar]and AN, maybe you could come back with something sustantive, like “Most apps on the iPhone are just noise.”

In that case, you might have something, seeing that recent surveys indicate that only 15,000 out of over 65,000 apps available have been downloaded at all.

Then, I could at least come back with, yeah, but if you look at the built-in apps, Apple’s done a better job of making each one of them useful. And then, you could say… well, you get the idea.

Which brings me back to flu and just a reminder that if you think it’s hard to find good engineers, the really hard part is coming up with a product that will appeal to consumers. You’ve got a great idea, right?[/quote]

Well, my colleague’s already have a customer. telco’s specifically…And I’m piggy-backing off of him to build crap on top of crap :). I don’t sell directly to consumers. Out of all things, I’m an enabler, not a specific app provider. There is no significant money to be made on individual apps, particularly iphone apps.

As far as the headache of managing a 16.5 hr timezone difference tell me about it. But I already got do deal with a buddy that isn’t even here in S.D.

So let me ask is almost $100k/year such a shabby deal for someone with 6-8 years of relevant experience? I guess if firemen are making $150k+ pension, relatively, speaking yes? All said and done, that is how much it’s looking like for a good guy from Bangalore factoring in overhead.

Oh well, gotta pay to play. Anyway, found two candidates today. One from Texas.
