You could try using https://www.odesk.com to look for designers or developers. If you're looking for a step by step, I suggest http://www.launchbit.com/

Don't forget Craigslist either. It's hit or miss, but definitely a resource worth considering.

On: Ask HN: Ideas for parking a phone number while overseas?

[markca]

Google Voice would be ideal but as an alternative you can port the number over to Ooma. I've been using the service for about a year and have been relatively happy.

Thanks Markca, I was sure someone would be crazy enough to be attempting this already.

On: What do I do with my now "obsolete" 3G iPhone?

[markca]

Depends if you can afford the upgrade. Want an iPhone 3G S? Already have an iPhone 3G? Be prepared to pay $700 to upgrade [Updated] An iPhone 3G customer in most cases can early upgrade at $399 [16GB] or $499 [32GB].
