Oh! This application for the iPhone (and iPod touch) costs $1,000, or about €41, and does nothing but put a rotating red gem on the screen.
The name of the app is I Am Rich, and it’s developed by Armin Heinrich.
Hardly a big deal. Rich people buy silly things all the time, right?
What currency-converter did you use? I get it to about 650 euro. :)
It’s a running joke wille
Ah, sorry, im from Sweden. We dont get jokes… ;)
Jabs is right, it’s a running joke we do. You’ll also find that we make fun of our editor, John Biggs, quite a lot.
We’re all fairly neurotic, in other words.

No, you’re an idiot. You don’t get jokes.
What I don’t understand is that you hear about all of these applications that take weeks to get to the app store and yet you can buy this!
Ahhh, the dollar vs. Euro-joke. Strangely enough I never tire of it.

Can’t afford this elite-level iPhone app? Try the cheapskate’s webapp version. Just point your mobile Safari to http://andy.teamsoell.com/iamrich.
Someone should code an “I am Poor” app that displays an open hand and sell it for a penny ;P
“We’re all fairly neurotic” Yeah, I know, I met some of you in Vegas (CES) and SF (macworld) ;)
True, true Dave. Love from Seoul. :)
