    Building PhotoKast: Creating an iPhone app in one month - Home & Garden, How-To Guides & DIY, and software

    Quoted: In the spirit of Guy Kawasaki's Truemors experiment, we challenged ourselves to create a social networking iPhone app - from concept to development to distribution - in 30 days.
