Proposal For New iPhone App.

I have what I believe to be a brilliant idea for an iPhone app. I'd buy it if it existed! I have trawled extensively through the App Store on iTunes and nothing like my proposed app appears at all.

I am not technically competent to write the app myself, so what I would like to know is: Are there any reputable concerns out there who might be prepared to develop my idea and give me cash royalties based on units sold?

    Wish I'd thought of that, give someone a couple of grand for the best new app idea, have it developed and keep all the profits for myself.

    You also get to develop the apps that didn't win, but were still good ideas!

    Agreed, I thought the same myself, however it might give the OP some inspiration about getting the techie knowledge they need so they can develop the idea themselves or maybe give them confidence to approach the big boys, they are obviously looking for new ideas, if the OP doesn't want to do any of that the chance of £2000 would be better than nothing and of course they don't have to enter;)

    Oh, and of course you could run a comp like this yourself if you could back it up:D
