With the market saying 'no' to Nokia's Ovi Store, what do you think can be done to change this?
I’m not sure whether to laugh and enjoy the schadenfreude or feel truly sorry for a reviewer calling himself Lee5279.
According to iClarify, someone has accidentally bought the $999.99 “I Am Rich” iPhone app. Unsurprisingly, he is desperately seeking help to get out paying it - from Apple no less.
According to its creator, Armin Heinrich, it also features a “secret mantra” that “may help you to stay rich, healthy and successful.” In reality it’s an app of pointlessness with a dose of justified hatred attached.
This review of the app was posted by the customer desperately trying to get his money back.
As Tech Radar put it:
“Lee5279 claims that he “clicked ‘buy’, thinking it was a joke, to see what would happen.” Surprisingly enough, for an online store, this initiated the transaction, leaving the man $1,000 poorer – but all the richer for the widget. Next time he’s in the market for a useless app, we’d suggest plumping for something similar to the recently-pulled Phonesaber instead: it’s somewhat cheaper and infinitely more fun.”

While it's truly crazy that anyone would spend £500 on something like that, the really shocking thing is that it got through Apple's vetting system in the first place!
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha
Does anyone know when this app is coming to S60 3rd Edition?
