So I have been thinking about the changing landscape of iPhone development lately. Everyone was all excited when Apple announced the SDK, and said that they wouldn't be charging any fees for free apps to be distributed through the store.

While that is great and all, the fact remains at this time, all developers who wish to distribute apps, whether free or pay, must pony up 99.99 for the privilege. This might not be too much of an obstacle for some individuals, but I am pretty sure that this is going to kill some of the apps that we all love.

I am encouraging the makers of such great free iPhone/iTouch apps as Books, Terminal and Services to set up a paypal account, if you don't already have one, and let us start donating money to get you the developer license fee.

I for one would love to kick a little green to the developers of these apps. And I am betting that there are more than 99 other people who would too.

What we really need is a simple solution for users to get their cash to developers. We need a developer fund website... maybe DevFund? Yeah, look for this new project to launch in the next couple of weeks.

Like I didn't have enough to do.
