Fart Applications Must Be Profitable but Probably Not Rewarding Enough

Svetlana Gladkova

Today I have received an email from the creator of iFart, the iPhone application we profiled a few days before Christmas as the application that has generated impressive revenue for its creators - even despite of its dubious nature. The entire technology blogosphere has been very impressed watching the application that does nothing but imitates [...]

It Must Be Christmas Mood or I Don’t Get the Fart App Making $10k a Day

Svetlana Gladkova

I somehow dislike counting money other people make but in some cases it is just impossible to resist with today’s calculation being the money generated by the most popular application in the Apple App Store: almost $10,000 a day.

Svetlana Gladkova

Svetlana Gladkova

Yesterday Research In Motion announced BlackBerry Storm that is obviously yet another direct competitor to Apple’s iPhone 3G.
The major disadvantage for BlackBerry Storm is that this phone lacks Wi-Fi support but there are other things where the new device is even stronger than iPhone, like removable battery, 3.2-megapixel camera, and cut-and-paste editing functionality.
