But for those you need money: just a few days will cost you $10.000. Another version is using TapJoy, but it will cost you, more than 50% of the profit if you want to be seen.

If you don't have one to promote you, then your app will be lost among the other 200 that are aproved each and every day. If you are featured by Apple you have a really good chance to sell. But you won't be featured without a publisher. And Gameloft/EA/Namco don't publish other games than their own (with small exceptions). Others like Chillingo and ClickGamer will want up to 50% of the profit. Oh, and it's easier to get in the tops for iPad than iPhone/iPod because there are not that many apps. But the sales are also worse for the iPad. Well, you need a publisher for your game.

So while iPad/iPhone games might be lucrative for some, it's not lucrative for all. Be careful.
