" Yeah, I think that's the point of the iPhone "millionaire developer"
" stories that surface from time-to-time.  Although the average iPhone dev
" isn't making jack, Apple hopes the "gold rush" myth surrounding the
" occasional "guy stold a bazillion fart apps" stories will con every dev
" on the planet to buy a Mac and pay the $99 App store entry fee.

$99?  Are they nuts?  Does this work on PPC Mac, or is a newer mac required?

$99 is 4 days pay for me.  That's just not worthwhile for an augusting
market that is saturated with competition.  I'd expect Apple would pay
developers $20 each to work on their platform -- it'd make it more
competitive.
