I recommend this article/post: http://codeclimber.blogspot.com/2008/04/all-i-need-is-programmer.html
As a member of several NYC networking groups, I can promise you that ideas (both good and bad) are a dime a dozen, it's all on the execution. Maybe you're not looking for freebies, but if you are I recommend against it. You might have more luck finding a developer that will lower their wages in exchange for equity, or if you're absolutely desperate, outsource the work developing a prototype, sell your idea to investors, and then hire programmers to execute. Hope that helps, - Brian D.
