In episode 6, Kevin and Rick talk about the role publishers play in the iPhone market vs other traditional software markets. They then talk about their next project (currently under wraps); specifically, their recent progress, finding the best way to be productive, and maintaing motivation.
Update (11/25/2009): Oliver Cameron of Taptivate wrote us to let us know we were wrong/confused about a couple of things. First, Voice Candy is an existing Mac app made by Potion Factory that existed prior to the Voices app — so Voice Candy was not created or spun off from the Voices app. Seeing the similarities between the two apps, Taptivate and taptaptap saw an opportunity to do a bundle launch between the two. And finally, Taptivate had worked with taptaptap previously (before the iPhone even hit) so their relationship on Voices wasn’t a run of the mill contract job but rather a collaboration between the two, with taptaptap handling the publishing. Our apologies for the errors and congrats to Taptivate and taptaptap for Voices hitting #1 in the App Store!
