Hey Kirk -
Does your client want you to build the ap on a fixed price?  If so I strongly 
suggest that you refuse!  

You might reasonably build a proto-type on fixed price.  Its impossible to 
guesstimate accurately without some sort of functional spec or use cases, but 
if your client wants both a mobile instance for the iPhone and a Web-based 
interface that interacts with desktop and Webmail clients it's hard to imagine 
building a (primitive) prototype for less than 20K-30K at the low end.  And 
that would also imply using off shore developers.  

Hope that's remotely helpful,
Richard

I was wondering when a client was going to ask me this and it finally  
happened.

I have a non-profit client that has a pretty strong idea for an App  
and they asked me how much development/build and launch would cost.   
Can anyone give me a range of budgets they've seen and rough turn- 
around times?  I know it's an obtuse question.  The only specific  
info that may impact these figure will be that the App must interact  
with Contacts and Phone so it will dig a little deep into the Apple  
iPhone OS.

Thanks,

-Kirk
