i'm sorry, but those 9 people are CRAZY, for spending $1000.00 on a phone application
1good to know there are nine certified idiots out there. and that belkin made a cute bag. it's a good weekender.
2Nine? Eight copies were sold. The programmer is a genius. Who were these wet blankets who complained to Apple and made them take it down? What harm was it really doing to let a clever guy separate money from asshats who just want to show off how rich they are? It's not like he lied about the functionality of his program. I think some people are just jealous they didn't think of it first.
3I heard this on the street today from a woman to her son "some people have more money than sense" I think that sums up the $1000 iPhone app
4Come to think of it, Apple likely took it down not because people complained, but because the app kind of makes fun of Apple stuff as being toys for people who have "more money than sense". Can't argue with Apple not wanting that as their image. That undermines all their efforts to promote themselves as a brand that gives people more value for their money. And if they don't nip this in the bud, they'll have a hell of a lot of useless apps cluttering their app store.
5what exactly did it do? i know it glowed red, but WHAT glowed red... the lil app icon? and thats it???
