Their next event on March 24, as I mentioned at the end of the story, is about the iPhone SDK, but they have a different speaker & topic every month. @Kris–

I have a few ideas for mobile apps that I would like to develop and I'd like to start looking for partners. Is there a forum (physical or virtual) where Boston/NE based mobile developers meet?

In light of this post and the iFund, any thoughts of porting the app to the iPhone? And being a Windows Mobile junkie myself, I have to ask... any thought of making this work on WinMo devices? I'm guessing the answer is a big "no" due to the lacking hardware interoperability... but it sounds like another great application that Windows Mobile will miss out on in the future. Also, I find it interesting that a year ago the only mobile developers out there were for WM (some symbian, maybe?) and now, only months later, there are multiple SDKs which are drawing out many more mobile developers than ever before. This shifting focus is exemplified well by the detailed coverage in <a href="http://www.bostonpocketpc.com/" rel="nofollow">Boston Pocket PC</a>'s post on the iPhone SDK. The only local PPC site can't find enough Windows Mobile to write about, mainly because there just isn't enough interesting news about PPCs anymore- iPhone and Android are stealing the show. To me, this is sad. To the greater mobile community, this is probably a great thing. @Michael

There are many mobile application developers here in Boston. We have just been waiting for an opportunity. Google and Apple are creating this opportunity. You are right.
