I wish I'd thought of that.
Too late now.

If it was a genuine Apple produced
app, many Apple fanboys would
be signed up by now.



Fair play if he makes money on it.

Your just jealous - best $1000 I ever spent - in fact I was so pleased I sent them £1000 instead.

Re: $1,000 iPhone App does nothing!

I don't really understand this post. However, I was surprised to see someone on Ebay pay over $1000 for a Ferrari phone. Don't know if you got a free Ferrari with this but it did seem a bit expensive.

Re: $1,000 iPhone App does nothing!

I am thinking of doing a $10,000 App for the iPhone that does nothing.


No wait, let me do a $100,000 or a $1m ...


@BRS: it's in the link, the guy wrote an expensive app that does nothing but sits on your iPhone just to let you show off.

"Livestyle"


Not for everyone indeed

Anyone bothered to check out his other more "affordable" apps?
