The dilemma of iPhone Apps

December 6th, 2008 by Richard Leave a reply »

I’m sure other iPhone developers have come up against the same dilemma as me, you come up with what you think is a great idea for a new iPhone Application to perform a quick search on the iTunes App Store and discover that 5 other people have done the same thing.  So the dilemma, do you still write the app because you think you can do better, or do you think of another idea?

Well so far I’ve developed one that I came up with the idea and the same day it got published two others of the same subject did.  For the second idea no one had written an app on this subject yet.  Yet when I came to submit the final code there were three, yet I still submitted because I’d spend enough time working on it.

Now the second dilemma, I’ve got another idea, which obviously I won’t share until I’ve completed it, but do I actually bother as at the time of writing, no one has done this yet, but will they have done by the time I finish coding the application.  Although it will probably only take a fortnight to code.

Heck I’ll probably write it anyway… watch this space!
