Agreed on billing by the hour, but your comment about some programmers being faster than others is nearly irrelevant when you have to acknowledge costs of business as a freelancer. 50-66% of your time is spent in new business acquisition and accounting. If you're a miracle programmer AND a rainmaker, hey, more power to ya pal.

Yes, $40/hr is too low.��
However, billing by the hour is asking for trouble.
Small projects rarely should take a month.�� So your assumption of 1 month of dev for a *small* app is pretty .. generous.

To: [address removed]Date: Tuesday, September 14, 2010, 1:16 PMConsidering most devoted freelance devs will spend 50-70 hours/week, and these apps are subject to wild feature creep, and the skillset is paid $100,000+ fulltime, yes, $40 per "hour" for iOS work is sweatshop.

Any reasonably-sized/reasonably rich (aka: worhtwhile) app is going to take what, at least a month of one dev's time? $40/hour for top-notch in-demand tech skills? sweatshop.
