Comments on: Wealth-flaunting app arrives on Android phones

For $200, you can show you spent $200 on an otherwise feature-free Android program. Let's see if Google treats this differently than Apple did.

The reason it's cheaper on the G1 isn't because of the economy or cost consciousness, it's because that's what Google decided to set the Market price limit at.

It'll cost you $200 to read what I think about this story.

Seem especially inappropriate given the current economic climate. Perhaps an application to track bailout money would be more useful.

i agree with google. leave it up there.

i saw more than one of these on the market.

if someone wants to spend 200 bucks on a glowing crystal app i say go right ahead!

LOL that is a hilarious marketing scam. what if someone creates a similar free one though.. o.O

I know someone who's dad pulled a scam like this around 30 years ago. He ran an ad in several area papers in the classified section. The ad simply said " Last week to send in your dollar" along with his a P.O. Box. The guy said his dad actually netted about $2000.00. Later, he did another version sending people genuine beach sand for $5.00. I guess this is a modern-adjusted for inflation version of the same scams :)

Although i'd never actually spend $200 on a phone application, I have to admit a part of me wants that app!!

On another note there are a lot of great apps in the Android market that are free. Downloaded that app cardiotrainer the other day and took it on a run this morning! loveee it!

How cool is that! what a groovy phone application! it'll be cool when sites like http://www.mobilephones.name
have comparisons to get te best deal though, $200 is a bit steep, if you've got it, flaunt it,
I'm well impressed!
