While I’m sure many app developers for the new app store were happy just to be working with Apple on such a cool device as the iPhone 3G, I’m not so sure they all thought they would be swimming in money before a month was out. But some of the popular pay apps (2 Across, a crossword app, is the example) are earning their makers thousands of dollars per day.

Even ridiculous apps like lightsaber simulators are probably making the minimum necessary to stay in the store, and many are probably now paying someone’s rent. This is good news for everybody! How lovely! [via i4u News]
