Comment on What the iPad Really Means to Developers

Comments

> Oh, there will be plenty of opportunities for iPad developers, in contracting, vertical markets, and corporate development.

The majority of iPhone developers I've personally met make their money from writing and maintaining apps for other companies. The company just needs to go through the iPhone developer application process and pay the annual $99 fee - and no one will ever know (win-win). Yes, they do have their own personal apps and some have done quite well.

Oh, and most of the developers I've met have spouses with a relatively stable full-time job (health insurance and financial risk mitigator)
