Glory To Free Markets

"The App is a work of Art and included a 'secret mantra' -- that's all."
---- Heinrich




Apple took down a 'Ridiculous' app from the iPhone app store that costed $1000 and did Nothing, except display a graphic and a label 'I am Rich'

I say to Heinrich (who is from Germany) : Great idea and kudos for jumping on it and taking the risk to publish it. Your victory was short lived, but it was sweet!

Apparently this was purchased by 8 customers !

A lot of thoughtfully written apps cost about 99 cents in the app store. These guys would have had to sell 8000 copies to hit that same revenue target.
