I Am Rich - iPhone App Disappears Update

To update readers from yesterdays post (Berman Post: I Am Rich - iPhone App Disappears), the LA Times is reporting that eight people bought the "I Am Rich" app before it was removed. It also reports that the app was taken down by Apple. For anyone trying to do the math, that is roughly $5,600 for the developer. The other roughly $2,400 go to Apple as they collect %30 for store upkeep.

"Eight iPhone owners have joined an elite clan: Their Apple gadget is running a program that cost nearly $1,000.

Apple apparently had some problems with I Am Rich. After initially approving it for distribution, the company has since removed it from the store. Heinrich, a German software developer, has yet to hear back from Apple concerning the removal. "I have no idea why they did it and am not aware of any violation of the rules to sell software on the App Store," Heinrich said in an e-mail with The Times today.
