Yeah, I got to be careful now with the one-click iTunes store setup. Miss the icon by a tad and your in trouble.

Niiiiiice.
How about a screen shot of your homescreen too, so we can see the app's icon?
I just made my own home screen icon that looks just like it! It's just a webclip that goes to Google.com but, it's still funny.
Hey! Anyone with the SDK can make this App in 2 seconds! Here's the icon I whipped up really quick:

E-props? Really? Wow.....I almost forgot about Xanga. Wonder if that site still exists...
Let's say someone does buy it.Then $1,000 has transfered from one idiot's bank account to another idiot's bank account.
Please explain how that affects you, or me, or "starving people" one little bit.

he's saying he could donate it. However you all seem to be forgetting that the developers only get 70% of the profits from the app store.
Wow, I want to see how many people actually waste their money one it. The thing that surprises me is that Apple allows this app into the store, while removing NetShare and Box Office for no reason whatsoever. I understand that NetShare may have gone against Apple's agreements with developers, but there was no reason given for the Box Office removal. I think that this just show's Apple's care for the quality and integrity of their store. But then again, Apple is going to make $300 for each person that wastes there money on it.
i still dont see the difference between THIS app and a pocket book.. it IS all about status.. a diamond might be expensive because it is rare, but this would also be considered rare because the only people who will buy it are the ones with that kinda money to throw around..
explain to me why a pocket book is $17,000.00 and why THAT is a status symbol. There is NO shortage or pocket books, or fine leather, or even good designers.. its $17,000 because some how, somewhere along the line, the person who made the pocket book got a name for themselves and just STARTED selling them for a LOT more money than the average pocket book.. that is ALL that fashion is about. What makes one designer BETTER than the other?? Public perception of it's value..
this person is just creating a VALUABLE item by acutally putting a price tag on it

booyahh, i don't play.
I am not playing. I really bought this. Next you guys want me to show you my checkbook?
Some people are vain. They probably would like this app.
No.
The app maker has clearly stated what it is. There is no fraud or misrepresentation of the item.
AFAIK, Apple does not set the price for apps. The developers do.
Likewise.
Pffft... I'll wait for the $1499.99 blue diamond, thank you!
I would imagine so ... for right now.
Because Netshare involved an issue with ATTs contract agreement with iPhone users.
Does the application crash?
Is the application misrepresented, or fraudulently listed?
I saw the white text.
But you bring up a good point. What about accidental purchases?
Funny!
If they do, this could be a very slippery slope for Apple.
Free enterprise.
And PC fanboys.
Please remember that the iPhone/Touch platform is for both PC and Mac.
Oh, I am sure someone will purchase this.
Apps are backed up on your computer.
He only has one other app, that I can see, called, "Pro Calc."
One copy of this app for him would be equal to 1,000 x 0.99 apps, or even 100 x 9.99 app sales.
Who knows, among those who can afford things like this, it might become the in thing to have. Rich people do weird things at times.
So you purchased it?
It would be fun to see his sales numbers.
As I mentioned above, the listing is not fraudulent or misrepresents the product. And as long as it doesn't crash.
No kidding.
I would imagine there may be some accidental sales.
Also, and I am not going to try this, there may be a secondary protocol for apps over X amount where the app store verifies that the buyer really wants to purchase the item. Then again, maybe not. What I do know, is that I am not going to click on it to find out.
Sure. Why not?
i personally think the app is funny. is it a waste of money? of course. but hey it's not our money so who we to care.
In World of Warcraft you can buy a virtual diamond ring that costs a ton of virtual money for your loved one. did some people buy it? of course.
as for the comment that apple shouldn't have let the app in. how is apple going to segregate apps? what if a person does really want to buy it? go to download.com and there are a ton of stupid apps out there.

This stuff is taking up a developer's space on the AppStore?
Apple allows this cause they will be making $300 off of the bozos that will actually buy this c.r.a.p!

That would be fun to see as well.
Exactly.
This would become a slippery slope for Apple.
In the customer world, opinions vary greatly.
Question. If someone buys this app, is it bogus?Apple allows this cause they will be making $300 off of the bozos that will actually buy this c.r.a.p!
Since you can use the SDK so well, how about learning to resize pictures next? Geezus.
See post #32 by TheSpaz.
How about showing us the secret mantra that is shown when you press the 'i' on the main page of the app?
I suspect that this app was very easy for the QA people to test. All they had to do was verify that it does in fact do nothing. The purpose of QA is to remove stuff that either does not work or more importantly violates Apple's or AT&T's terms of use.

you could do as well, when you quote it
