"I Am Rich" iPhone App
The latest hot iPhone application that has caught everyone's attention is the "I Am Rich" app by developer Armin Heinrich. The app costs $999.99 and displays a glowing ruby-like light. and the words I Am Rich. Open it and it will load which Heinrich calls a secret mantra that may help you you to "stay rich, healthy, and successful." Ridiculous? Certainly, but rather clever too and subtler than having Amosu hook you up with a diamond or gold-covered iPhone.Technologizer is conducting a poll on whether or not the app should be pulled from the App store. So far it looks like most are in favor of keeping it.
UPDATE: And it's gone. Apple has pulled the app from the store.

I think that it is pretty cool, but I wouldn't want to pay that kind of money for it.

That is insane, almost $1,000 for an item which is not even tangible in form or holds no resale value or transfer value after it is consumed, as a matter of fact how exactly is such an icon consumed anyway?

I'm all for spending $400 on a pair of jeans, $2500 on a pair of shoes, tens of millions of $ on houses, but $1000 on some app for your phone...that's just ridiculous. And it's not as though everyone will see this app. Stupid.

I think this app should be kept but the label should read "I am stupid" instead of "I am rich".
