Sweet Iphone app

not


Behold: "I Am Rich," a $999.99 app from Armin Heinrich, which just displays a red gem on the phone's screen -- nothing else.

Apple's iPhone-App-Approval Mouse Falls Off Treadmill: Buy The $1000 App That Does Nothing (AAPL)

One of the posts.

OK this may be hard to understand but I bought this app. My friends and I all have iPhones and we have been geeking out for weeks about all the apps on it. But I am the only one in our group who is kinda rich from a tech exit. So I bought this app and frankly there is a sense of exclusivity about it that makes my phone just a little bit different than theirs. To me the money is chump change so I don't give a **** and to them they wish they had the cash to throw away on such trivial meaninglessness so this gives me an edge up in our friendly-competitive social circle.

Make sense?

I got about half way through that before I realized you were quoting someone else. I was going to ask you for a loan.

A fool and his money...

Ah, glad to see the yuppie is still alive and well in society.

Who would pay that much for an app? I'm having issues with pay $9.99 for pacman....even though I really want to. :skeptical:

And that guy probably is the one who sits back and gripes about Darfur and starving children all over the world, but wont help by donating.

i wouldnt even pay $9.99 for an iphone. this is getting ridiculous. its a PHONE PEOPLE. its not even something you need, yet most people cant seem to live with out it. it is sickening.

Someone will make a look-alike alike app and post it on sourceforge.net for free. So much for his exclusivity.

Looks like the app has been taken out of the store now.
