The $1000 iPhone App

Armin Heinrich has a lot of balls. The developer (or should it be “developer”, with quotation marks?) recently posted the “I Am Rich” iPhone application on the iTunes Store. Here’s a blurb courtesy of Silicon Alley:
“The red icon on your iPhone or iPod touch always reminds you (and others when you show it to them) that you were rich enough to afford this,” the app’s information page says in iTunes. “It’s a work of art with no hidden function at all.”
The catch: this is a $999.99 app, and all it does is show a red virtual gem on the iPhone’s screen. It’s good that the app’s now missing from the iTunes Application store. But for the sake of civilized society, we hope no one was foolish to actually spend on it.
