Creating iPhone apps is definitely a great way to make money, but if you are new to programming I recommend learning some fundamentals first. Although I've never used Apple's SDK, I'm sure it uses the basics of object oriented programming. Get comfortable with that first! :)

That said, I do not think the iPhone will stand the test of time. It's biggest flaw is inherited from Apple itself: proprietary hardware and software. This is the same reason why the iPhone will never support flash. The business model simply cannot allow for it because they want total control of everything their product touches. In a perfect world with no third party developers, this would be ideal. As an open source fan, however, this is partly why I don't own any Apple products.

For me, Android development is definitely the way to go. You don't need Mac OS or 100 bucks to get your apps listed like Apple requires. Developing via Eclipse, as suggested in the very thorough online development guide, makes the process very user friendly. Android applications are written in Java which is an excellent language to get familiar with object oriented programming. Applications written in Java are also platform independent, meaning you can run your Java apps on any computer in which the java virtual machine is installed!

To sum up, if you want to develop for the now, have MAC OS, and an extra hundred bucks in cash… then get going with the iPhone.
BUT
If you want to develop for the future with a platform that is completely free and has the potential to be on thousands of different electronic devices, start with Android. Ubuntu 9.10 just came out, I can't think of a better dev. environment.

People who do not have their own website or blog they do not get one good platform to promote their affiliate link. So they have to use forum, classified site for promote their products. Hubpage is one good platform to promote your affiliate link. Just drive traffic to your hubs for increase your affiliate sell.

For the average person who want to know how to make money with iphone applications, the process is strategic, intentional, and straight forward. Here are some ideas to help you get started.

1. Develop an app that is focused, practical, and small in size. The smaller the app file, the faster it will run and the more enticing it is to potential buyers. If the app is too big, buyers might not have room for it on their iPhone, causing fewer people to buy it, and you might not make as much money with your iPhone app.

Avoid letting extra features sneak into your app. If they are important, save them, and after the initial release of your app, release a premium version with the extra features. This will allow you to sell the simpler release (for those who need a smaller app), but also have a more extensive app that you can charge more for.

Keep it small, keep it simple, and create an app that people can use over and over again.

2. Submit your app to the Apple Web App Directory. Apple’s Web app directory is the premiere listing of the newest applications. You won’t find much traffic on other directories, so you should submit to the Apple directory. Once you submit, wait for Apple to review your app. This review is merely to see if your app is usable and functions correctly.

Once Apple reviews your app – which takes about a day – they’ll put your app at the top of their chronological list. You’ll get a lot of hits for the first few days because of your app’s place at the top of the directory list. This is the most crucial part of your total revenue because it’s when your app will be seen the most and you will make the most money with iPhone apps.

3. Resubmit your App. Apple will relist your app at the top of the directory if you resubmit your app with revisions. Fill out a resubmission form and fill out the “What’s New” section. Even if your revisions are small and simple, you should still resubmit your product. This will increase visibility, placing you at the top of the directory list once again.

Always resubmit your app on a Thursday or Friday. Apple doesn’t list apps during weekends, so the ones listed on Thursday and Friday stay at the top of the list the longest.

All of these steps WILL help your iPhone app gain exposure and buyers, but they don’t guarantee the success of your product. You MUST have a compelling, concise, practical, and efficient app. If your app fits this mold and you follow these steps, you will have success. The key is coming up with a good idea, but the trick is showing your app to the world once it is created. If you can do this, you will make money with your iPhone apps.

This is all well and good, but you have to come up with a product that is actually worth purchasing for users. Unless you have a real understanding of programming, this may not be for you.
