I've been working with Cocoa and related technologies since their infancy - when it was still called NeXTstep. I ran a company (Objective Technologies) that built NeXTstep developer tools and built financial applications using NeXT technology. When NeXT was bought by Apple I started a new company named CodeFab that built large web based applications using the NeXT-Apple WebObjects toolkit and Mac desktop apps using Cocoa. I've done a couple of years of direct consulting for Apple in Cupertino and am good friends with many of the core engineers for iPhone related technologies.

Right after the iPhone SDK came out I pulled all of my developers in from around the country for an in-house "kitchen" on iPhone development. We spent most of a week around the big conference table building small apps until everyone was comfortable with the development tools. CodeFab has been doing iPhone consulting ever since. Additionally, I formed a partnership with one of our first customers to form a mobile ad network that initially targeted the iPhone (we are just releasing support for Android phones now).

iBlogger is the first commercially released application CodeFab developed (in partnership with illumineX. We did an internal application for MarquisJet (basically an iPhone brochure for the private jet service). We also worked with Hot Phone Hit Factory on a new iPhone-based magazine called PMc Magazine that is a very cool high end women's magazine with photography from Patrick McMullin (big fashion photographer and a host on Full Frontal Fashion). We are currently working on several additional projects.
