Thanks - very thoughtful response! I have been burnt before, so validation is definitely #1 priority for me. I'm still in the wire-framing phase, because I at-least want to take these screenshots with me when I talk to the golf courses.

But my problem is that of segmentation - I don't have the bandwidth to support both iOS and Android at the same time, which cuts off a big chunk of audience.

Since the core of the app is networking - supporting the major platforms is quite important. But hey it is what it is. I've gotta start from somewhere!

What do you mean when you say you don't have the bandwidth to support both iOS and Android?

If you're targeting businessmen, I think cross-platform is pretty important. Most executives are likely using Blackberry and Android. iOS is still trailing in the business sector last I checked.

If you use a cross-platform SDK you can cover your bases and not have to worry about it. Something like Phonegap or Corona could dramatically increase your likelihood of adoption.

I agree with you. By band-width I meant the time and resource I have to devote to this idea. I have a full time job, and in evenings, I have been taking programming classes. So, I didn't think I could support cross platform from the get-go.

Your responses and suggestions are right on the money. What's your background and interest areas?
