Re: Need advice - Mobile App Development

Depending on the complexity of your desired mobile application, you may
find it more cost effective to develop both at the same time using tools
such as Sencha - http://www.sencha.com/ or Appcelerator -
http://www.appcelerator.com/.

Also, you may find it more beneficial to have a third party develop the
apps.  There are a ton of ins-and-outs that first timers are not aware of
(such as what the app store will accept, how best to deal with retina
display, etc.)  We worked with a local company, BizMosis -
http://www.bizmosis.com/.  We co-designed the app, they wrote the app and
we wrote all the services that power it.
