iPhone Developers in Alberta
The stats are hard to ignore. According to Apple over 1.5 billion apps have been downloaded and more than 40 million iPhones or iPod Touches are being used in 77 countries. A fairly conservative assumption made by Kit Eaton at Fast Company has Apple pushing 3,000 petabytes of data through its iTunes servers.
The scary part is these numbers are only going up. Apple has created a burgeoning marketplace where there once was nothing (or at least very little). There are over 100,000 developers plying their trade and hoping to make the next Labrynth or Flapjack Finder (an app created to help you find Stampede breakfasts).
It's no surprise then that there are a ton of Alberta based iPhone developers out there. If I've missed anyone in the list below let me know in the comments and I'll add you. Just be sure to include the URL to your site/twitter profile/whatever, your name and where you are in Alberta.
