Red Foundry lets anyone make an iPhone app in browser

A new Seattle area startup Red Foundry has a cool service, allowing folks without tech background to make iPhone apps in minutes, using nothing but their web browser. The system/platform enables future app owners to choose from existing templates and pick only the components they require. And by “components” they mean such things as music and video playback, blog feeds, photos, web pages, maps, Facebook and Twitter integration, and so on. Then, once you made the application, Red Foundry also takes care of hosting, at least of those components that are required for your app to work and be up to date.

The best part is that you can try Red Foundry for free. The company makes money only when you submit your app to Apple. After that, you only pay the hosting service, which is not that much. Cool idea – I like it! ;)

Dusan Belic

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
