The word you are looking for is Persona.

Yep, that's the one!

Yet another word I've come across is cohort, mostly in the healthcare context.

Fred. They're always called Fred. Or are you talking about the whole scenario. I've always known them as Test Cases.

It's starting to look like I'm going to be forced to do some mobile development (and I already hate the prospect, so please don't attempt to assault me with sugar-coated platitudes).
I need to target Android, iOS, and WinPhone. The app will have a single screen with a "go" button. When the button is pressed, the following will occur:
- a QR code will be scanned
- the phone's current geolocation will be determined
- the app will open a browser with the address indicated by the QR code, with the GPS coordinates being in the querystring.
This app will only work on a website that I'm writing (the URL from the scanned QR code will be verified to make sure the host/domain matches a hard-coded string).
I explored the possibility of installing the app without going through the various app stores, but I determined that the procedures for doing so are too technically imposing for the assumed expertise of your typical idiot user, not to mention apple actually charges a fee to do this.
So, I need to go through the various app stores. The app will be free to the user, so I may have a running ad at the bottom of the screen so that I can recoup any money spent (albeit slowly).
Can someone give me an idea as to what will be involved, in terms of money, tools, and effort?

Come on John, the Mobile forum is the place for this.

I didn't even know there WAS a mobile forum.

Seriously? You've never looked at the menu to the left, or used the dropdowns at the top?

Reading menus is like asking for directions, and is generally shunned with alacrity.

Hmm, I found out about Apache Cordova, but this "feature" is a little presumptuous:
"Use the JavaScript framework you love"
I love absolutely nothing about javascript. How can anyone like anything that shows up as being spelled wrong? It's like saving you "love a Camaro". Just makes no sense to me...

We are doing something similar. We are targeting Windows Forms, ASP.NET, iOS, and Android off of the same source tree (all C#) using the Xamarin tools for the mobile stuff.
Xamarin is not cheap, it is like 900 a year or something like that, but it works great. It is integrated with Visual Studio and also has its own Xamarin Studio if you want to use that. Our source code is structured so that the only differences from platform to platform is the UI source. Of course, there are different project types for each one, but we have been really successful with it.
Another thing to consider with them is that Microsoft is buying them, so it might end up with being a native toolset for Visual Studio.
You do need a Mac for the iOS development, unfortunately you can't get around that.

It's approximately $1000 an year per developer per platform. So if 3 devs target iOS, Android, Windows Phone, that's 3*3*1000.

That's overly expensive.
