Im sure you've all probably had some great ideas for iphone/ipad apps.
Ever thought of actually producing it? Some of you might even have the programing knowledge to do it yourself. If you don't then you will likely try to find a company to make it for you. Be careful though. Its just like any good idea, everyone wants to make a buck. If the idea is genius enough then the developers might even try to claim it as their own.

Take a look at this.

Of cause App developers steal other people's ideas all the time. That's why you sign a watertight contract before you hand over the idea to the App developer. So if anything happens you have a legal leg to stand on and can take him/her to court to get your justice.

If you were smart, you would learn how to develop them yourself, otherwise, you got no one to blame but yourself!

Very true. Drop by a Barnes & Noble or Borders and pick up a book about Objective-C.

Really, you'll only have yourself to blame- plus, you'll make money doing it too (if you sell the App and not make it free that is).

Free apps make TONS of money -- if they're ad supported, or light versions of full apps ...

True, Just look how many redundant Fart and Flashlight apps there are, And lots of other useless apps that generate revenue.
