I worked indepently for about 3.5 years. In that time I would say that
about 80% of my revenue was palm development and I made pretty good
money at it. The problem is I have a family now and a decent family
healthcare plan for an independent is easily over $1,100/month in the
states. I just got to the point where I decided the freedom and extra
time off I had wasnt worth the price tag and went corporate. Its nice
not having to worry about where your next paycheck is coming from.
If I was to go independent again, I would focus on a few vertical
market apps and develop and sell them. It's way easier than
shareware/commercial software development IMHO.
