Apple permanently removes “I Am Rich”, a $1,000 show off iPhone application

Even after paying $500 for iphone and that expensive monthly payment some freaks wanted to show off their money. And for them Armin Heinrich, a German software developer, developed a seemingly useless application called “I Am Rich”.  Its function is exactly what the name implies: to alert people that you have money in the bank. I Am Rich was available for purchase from the phone’s App Store for $999.99 — the highest amount a developer can charge through the digital retailer. Once downloaded, it doesn’t do much — a red icon sits on the iPhone home screen like any other application, with the subtext “I Am Rich.” Once activated, the user is treated to a large, glowing gem. That’s about it. For a thousand dollars.

Apple, which didn’t respond to requests for comment, apparently had some problems with I Am Rich. After initially approving it for distribution, the company has since removed it from the store. The developer, Armin Heinrich, also expressed surprise that Apple has eliminated its inception, it does not flouting the rules governing trade on the AppStore and if someone wants to buy a wallpaper to 999 $, Why stop?  The fact is that in the case, it starts with $ 5600 in your pocket, and $ 2,400 Apple (Cupertino takes 30% of the selling price of an application). A good deal ..
