   someone is going to make $1m US on this app over the next 10 days.

   est 12m iPhones sold + even if just, say, 1% get this app (which will prob be higher) = 120,000 downloads * $5 = $600,000 / 70% cut (apple takes 30%) = $420,000.

   not bad for something that prob took someone a wkd to build.

   re "wknd to build": i was curious about how the code behind this would actually work. so i did a little research and it took me five minutes to build my own app :)

   i'm sooo tempted to release my app for $.99 haha

   should i? please help!

   sincerely yours,

   Yes, naveen, you should. There is no doubt at all in my mind. Though I expect to see about 10 similar apps in the store within the next week or so.

   Or none, if Apple deletes them all for some sort of obscure legal reason.

   Naveen-

   With Touch Dial Emoji at $4.99, I'd put your app at $1.99. ;-)

   Oh crap, Justine is pimping an app called FrostyPlace for 99¢.

    *sigh*

    as i always say (some variation): sure, your idea is one-in-a-million, but that means that there are a thousand of them in china! :)

    ok, 5 minutes to make. 32 hours to get my act together and submit to app store. hahaha. the app's gonna be called Emoijcon. $0.99. i'll report back someday on whether it actually gets accepted and whether it sells

    ps. Buy American! none of this frosty/touchdial stuff. :)

    pps. if apple rejects it (boo!!!), i'm doing the open-source thing (although i might do that anyway here naveenium.com/code/emojicon)

    Wah!!! Rejected. This is the second app Apple has rejected.

    Their reason:

    "'An Application may write data on a device only to the Application's
    designated container area, except as otherwise specified by Apple.'
    In addition, the iPhone OS Programming Guide States: 'For security reasons, iPhone OS restricts an application (including its
    preferences and data) to a unique location in the file system. This
    restriction is part of the security feature known as the application's
    "sandbox." The sandbox is a set of fine-grained controls limiting an
    application's access to files, preferences, network resources, hardware,
    and so on.'"

    Completely understandable. Totally. I get it. Really, I do. But what I don't get is why I get rejected while others make it in. (The same goes for my Jesus app! Others have been able to put stuff into the app store but I get rejected on the basis of religion? Wot!)

    Waaaahhh!!
