MHP is now a Registered Apple Developer

Having your own iPhone app for your website or blog will become a common way to promote and extend your company's brand. I found out recently creating that application and getting it into the App Store can be a lengthy and expensive process. However, fellow Twitter peep Michael Gass has enlightened me and I have found the whole process a lot less painful. Nonetheless, the MHP App should be available soon as well as other Apps currently in the development stage. I will update the progress here. In the meantime...

2010 will be the year that SmartPhones go mainstream and iPhone is leading the way.

* 1 Billion iPhone Apps downloaded
