Looks like another app bites the dust, but this time, I say good riddance!
It was called "I Am Rich" and it professed to be, well, the app for rich people. It cost $999 and it did, admittedly, nothing at all! No reviewers were willing to shell out the thousand to get a real look at this app (and rightfully so) but it supposedly provided you with a mantra to stay rich, healthy and successful. Umm, yeah.
So while Apple has pulled this little nuisance from the App Store, one thing is plaguing everyone's minds. Why was it allowed in the first place? Why was Nullriver's Netshare allowed, then pulled, then allowed? Why was Box Office removed with no notice? It's all very strange, if you ask me.

I have the vision of a couple of guys in a back room at Apple, evaluating each app. I see on the iSilo’s forum, Apple is certainly strict on their application.
Who would be stupid enough to buy a 999 app on a 200 gadget?
I bought this app and I have to say that I don’t think my iPhone would be complete without it. When you consider what it does it’s really a bargain. I can’t believe they were able to offer it at the price they offered it at. Worth every penny. I would’ve paid double.
