After several months of development efforts, I have finally submitted "Party Buddy" to Apple for distribution through the App Store.

As this is my first iphone application, I have no idea how long it is going to take before it appears for sale. There are many articles describing people's experiences with Apple's approval process. I remember reading about someone submitting an application for Valentines day and within 3 days the application was approved and available for purchase. Another article described more of a nightmarish situation where it took several months... I am expecting to see the application for sale by the end of next week :)

 I'll keep you posted.

Update: Right after I made this post, I noticed that I had to clean up my code to eliminate memory leaks.. Many lessons learned later, I now have a memory leak free application submitted to Apple for review. For real, this time:
