Interesting. These facts bring in a wealth of reactions. Good for independent app developers. Green with envy for a dumb app. Also, the number two app Sim City costs ten times as much. That means it has approached $100,000/day in income. Oh, and Apple is taking in a few bucks as well. The App store is certainly the technology breakthrough of the year. Thoughts?

Ehh... call me old-fashioned.
I won't be buying it, since I can fart for free without even using my phone. :)

Why? This is great news!
I think this is awesome, when someone can be that successful. I hope I can do the same one day. God bless him and viva Capitalism!
Really...
Makes you want to cry.
I'd like to meet this guy
I'd like to have a drink with this guy.
"Wow, man. How'd you make your money?"
"Umm... Urgh..."
Maybe Schiller will Demo it at Macworld.
Pathetic. People actually pay
Pathetic. People actually pay for this crap? Especially in these bad economic days.
Bloody sad really.

not accurate
I think you'll find you've made the common mistake of confusing revenue with profit. The sim city developers are taking in $100k in revenue on a good day, if your calculations are correct: NOT 100k in profits. I know, you're talking about the money flowing to the developer after apple takes its share from app store purchases. But that's not profit: the company has overhead, the cost of developing the application, etc. There could be a big, big difference in its actual profit and what you're reporting.
Does that diminish the dramatic profitability of some iPhone apps, or the weirdness of a farting app bringing in $10k in revenue in a single day? Not at all. But if we're writing about business, let's use the biz terms properly.
BUUUURPPP!!!
BUUUURPPP!!!
This only goes to show nobody
This only goes to show nobody ever starved by underestimating the intelligence of the Great Purchasing Public. Is there any way of making the iPhone/iTouches of the buyers of this app change colour? It would be a useful tool for determining social compatibility and IQ...
UPDATE iFart is making $27,249 a day!
