Developers launch app-generator service

Dave Swartz and his MEDL partner, Andrew Maltin, launched App Incubator, a service offering to turn great ideas into apps in return for a share of the profits. 

Rob Shoesmith, a 27-year-old binman from Coventry, submitted one of the first ideas selected by MEDL for App Incubator development. Shoesmith says he has only had an iPhone for a few months, but has been following the growth of the App Store since its launch. He wants to keep the specifics of his app under wraps until its launch, but describes it as a user-generated advice service.

“The idea just popped into my head,” says Shoesmith. “I don’t have a technology background, but I do have lots of ideas. Until now I hadn’t been able to find anyone to develop them.” The App Store boom means programmers are in demand, and the cost of hiring a developer to build an app can be prohibitively expensive.
