    The iPhone as handheld console competitor, right? I just came from Best Buy and didn't see a single fart game for the DS, or the PSP.

    Personally, I don't get the proflatulence but antihugebouncing breasts stance that Apple has taken up here. Is there some vague subtlety that draws a line between the maturity required to appreciate a wet fart and the idealized female form?

    In part, the number of 'silly' apps doing well on the app store is a side effect of the price battle that's forced games down to 99c. With the prices that low and everything being seen as budget and throwaway, apps that would normally only be done as free apps are worth pushing at 99c and they do well.

    Yes. You can't go to hell for farting, but you might for looking at boobies.

    I kid. I am with you on this one. I don't like the double standard.

    Really makes everyone re-think what they are working on. Or a fire to get in-process product to market quickly.. Anytime anyone has an idea.. there are at least 3 others out there doing the same thing.

    Remember - although bigger apps are selling. What's the average cost of goods on the iTunes store? .99.

    Yeah. I'm becoming a huge supporter of the idea that the Top Apps ranking was based on revenue and not the number of downloads. Then it wouldn't penalize those who are concerned about production values.

    Wow... I bet Apple is really proud of their decision of allowing the farting apps into the app store. I don't think it was an excellent idea, but as long as they're making money, it doesn't really matter. :p

    Does anyone know how much MotoChaser has earned in total? I'm curious and it seemed it was a fairly popular $1 game for quite some time.

    I bet if iBoobs were approved it would make at least $50k in one day...

    Nah, only male iPhone owners would buy it, or maybe not ;). I'd buy at least two copies though...

    Why didn't I think of making an app that has a few farting noises! I could have made so much money for such a silly app!:confused:

    What, you think women are buying the farting apps? I would not pay for a fart app, however, at 41 years of age, farts are still funny to me at times.

    I actually think more women would download the boobs than they would a fart app. A lot of women like other women ya know....

    Maybe, I'm not a mind reader here. What I'm saying is that iBoobs wouldn't make so much as $100k unless EVERYONE bought it...
