We submitted our App to iTunes Connect on Monday and put up a promo-how-to video. We blogged about it on Tuesday and we got some HN buzz.<p>We got an email today saying that someone is interested in buying out our product as they've got a similar product in the works.<p>What do you think that means?<p>We're curious to hear any opinions on it, bearing in mind our App is waiting for review and that the only thing we've shown is a video.
It's easy to say they want to buy you out but it could just be a ploy to delay your launch until they can get their product out the door. Unless they're willing to put cash in your hand today, don't stop for anything. Talk to them for sure, but don't change your strategy or release plan for anything.

Sounds like you've got somebody worried!<p>I'd ask for an offer in writing, and don't worry about it until you hear something back; I'm with doctorwho on this one, it sounds like stalling tactics.
