I would like to clarify one thing. When I am quoted saying “Developers can get feedback from hundreds of customers” it sort of sounds like the *maximum* number of customers a developer can get feedback from is a few hundred, and that certainly isn’t the case. The idea is, with PhoneGnome, one can go from idea to real customers very qucikly and with little or no up-front cost.

In other words, the PhoneGnome “bazaar” (I like that) is a really a “Pay as you Grow” option where it’s actually feasible (economically and otherwise) to consider market tests of small numbers of customers, and iteratively improve the product before spending a lot of money on a bad idea.
