Well, the hucksters are hitting the iPhone app market, and some people have purchased a sort of joke iPhone app that costs 1,000 dollars. But all the application ("I Am Rich") does is display a red jewel on your iPhone. A few people bought the application by accident, thinking it was only a joke. Apple has taken the application off of its store.

...or I am Stupid. According to a LA Times article, the customers were compensated for buying the app. One person thought it was a joke...and he paid for it.

They guy made a 2k just by uploading a picture with 10  words... Really iphone? Iphone=domasses

i bought this app before it was removed, there were more than 8 people who bought it, just they can't publicly count people who "opt out" of being publicly counted for purchasing the app. my estimate is that there were more like, 20 people who bought it.

The real stupid thing about this video is that the guy in the video says it is August 13th when this video was uploaded on August 12th.
