James Anthony and Eddie Marks co-founded Inedible Software, a Palo Alto based iPhone development company with over 3.9M downloads. They first learned iPhone programming at
Stanford University in CS193P, where they were taught by Paul Marcos and Evan Doll, two Apple engineers. After graduating in June 2009, with James earning a BS in Physics and Eddie a BAH (Honors) in Economics and a BS in Mathematics, they started work on Inedible Software full time.


Their first product, Air Guitar, started as a final project for CS193P and then went through another month of polishing before being released to the store. Over the next months they created four additional applications, launching two into the overall top 10 lists and two into their category’s respective top 30.


Their primary focus has been exploring the capabilities of the accelerometer, moving from typical shake and tilt detection to full gesture recognition (Air Guitar detects strumming and whammying, Shotgun Free / Pro detect cocking and firing and POW detects punching). They also created an app (currently unavailable) to promote the Magnolia Pictures film Mutant Chronicles.


Industry players have recognized them as having unique insights on the evolution of the app marketplace, and they hope to share their experiences monetizing apps with advertisers and pay models and ensuring an app gets noticed.
