tap lynx overview
DESCRIPTION
Taplynx, an open source application allowing almost anyone the ability to create their own iphone app without having to know code. This is a cool use of technology. My Brother, Walker Fenton who is the GM at Newsgator just built his own vanity app. Search "Hair on Fire" in the iphone store to see a great example.TRANSCRIPT
