There's an app in my future?

I've often wondered what I'd do if/when I leave VOXUS.  It never occurred to me, however, that the infinite possibilities might include developing an iPhone app.

Hillary Davis, a 16-year veteran of owning her own PR agency, was laid off last year from her then-position of VP of corporate communications at Triad Health.  Instead of spending all of her time finding a new job, she ended up creating MyTown Contacts, a 99 cent iPhone application that compiles a list of important phone numbers in case of emergency.  She got the idea for the application when she had a family emergency, but not being a software developer, she had to be creative in learning how to move forward with the concept.  She posted the job online and actually worked with a developer in China.

Check it out on iTunes -- I'm pretty impressed.  But the bar has now been set for the rest of us.
