Hi We are an offshore company and have developed various corporate applications and few ranging to top download both on iPhone & Android. We charge only $ 30 an hour ! I feel like , i am charging lowest but have developed some really interesting applications ! We also developed ODesk's iPhone App ( those are considering using elance , ODesk etc ) !

Wow, this is amazing. My startup, which i submitted for YC startup, which focussing on developing IPhone applications, faster , better and cheaper only charges 30 US $ an hour. Might be because, we are an offshore company. www.geniteam.com I am looking for a partner for the VC application, let me know if you are interested. Khurram Samad

Hi I think basic reason would be learning from Technoprenuers and mentors, because we dont have much success stories within Pakistan. With 15 K US $, we can support a team for 3 months. However, more important perspective is : Can we become a brand for building IPhone Applications faster, better and cheaper ? Can we build applications and charge subscription for maintiance ( we already are charing small amount ) ? Is the segment lucerative enough to make good profits for next 2-3 years ?

This is right analysis. However, ROI might be lesser but risk of failture would be lesser as well ? But, there is chance that we *"might" become a brand for IPhone apps development. If you can build reuseable libraries, then i beleive you can scale faster ?

We have a mixed model : We have developed few reuseable components for quick IPhone development. However, people using those would be developers. I dont have the numbers though. You might consider reviwing our startup at (www.geniteam.com).

Hi These are really interesting ideas. Would you be interested in following up the idea in more details with me. Please contact me at khurram@geniteam.com
