iPhone Riches


Every one who knows about the iPhone or owns one knows of the thousands upon thousands of different applications you can download to it. Just this fact says that the iPhone is open to millions of entrepreneurs for people who want to post apps for the iPhone. Some are 3rd party apps some are 2nd but for this particular story we will be looking at a 3rd party application.

A man named Steve Demeter, who works at an atm software designing company spent his spare time working on a little puzzle app called "Trism." Living in his San Fransisco Bay home he spends his time reading some emails from some of the fans of his new puzzle he created. He says "I'm very honored that so many people would enjoy my game. I get e-mails from 50-year-old ladies who say, 'I don't play games, but I love Trism.' That's the coolest thing."

Now the moral of this story is not to just be amazed that this guy earned $250 thousand dollars in 2 months on this game but to understand that if you have the knack for simple software coding and some good ideas you too can be racking in the money like he has. A writer states "A single one of these titles can be turned around for pennies by comparison in just weeks by a single hobbyist working in their off-hours." He really wants to tell us that its open to anyone in such a big market now. They call this more democracized because of the freedom in the market for anyone to take a part in this.
