Really expensive/pointless Iphone Application on the horizon.
Holyetheline | 12:35 PM on 08.29.2008 7 comments




So I was browsing the internet today out of boredom and came upon some really strange information about the Iphone. Apple has a screen saver created by Armin Henrich called "I am rich" featuring the image of a glowing red gem. Oh and guess how much this Iphone screen saver is? It's $999.99 because obviously there's douchebag's out there who are wealthy enough to afford this sort of thing.

Various blogs were able to get the official description, however, which reads in part: "The red icon on your iPhone or iPod Touch always reminds you (and others when you show it to them) that you were able to afford this. It's a work of art with no hidden function at all."

This application appears to not be on sale in the USA for some reason but is readily available overseas. When I see things like this I just think "what the hell is wrong with this world?"

Seriously.

W T F ?

Yeah, I'm with you, anybody pretentious enough to buy that should be shot in the foot and forced to skip rope.

This first came to a head a couple weeks ago. The $999.99 price tag is due to that being the maximum price a developer can set in the App Store.

I remember reading about several people buying it, some for it's "intended purpose" (remind yourself that you're rich/douchey), and one or two who bought it on accident thinking it was a joke.

It was available here in the US too I believe, but Apple pulled from its store after a bit.

also, isn't the iPhone expensive/pointless too?

Yeah everything about this application and the iphone is crap and useless. This article just proves my point even more. lol

Yeah sometimes those things happen. I do apologize for wasting thirty of your precious seconds so you could let me know that history repeats itself.

I did see this in BlindsideDork's blog... which makes sense since he blogs about everything constantly.

Next time I will be more careful and observant.
