My little landscape generator app, Turtledoveland, is currently at #5 on the Top Paid list for the Graphics & Design category.
I'll be sure to let HN know what kind of sales numbers that actually means, once the numbers come in...
I hope you make just bucket loads of cash. However, I wouldn't call it pretty bold. I would call it "fucking obnoxious." (Also, and totally off-topic, why does Apple keep insisting that I restart my damn machines for dinky-ass upgrades like this?)
We're always very open with our numbers--I'll post initial results as soon as I have them. I shipped everything with our Blurst accounts for leaderboards/achievements/etc, so I should be able to infer some ballpark figures before official numbers tonight. Will post to http://technology.blurst.com and http://twitter.com/mwegner
Apple is strictly enforcing that rule, too. My app was at first rejected for violating it. The specific reason given was: The application is creating files or writing to </Library/Preferences/com.apple.mediaio.DeviceSettings.plist> and <~/Library/Images>
It turns out that my app had nothing to do with this -- the responsible party was the IKPictureTaker class in ImageKit, which I was using to provide the "take a photo" functionality.
To Apple's credit, they made it very easy to email a real person about the rejection. When I explained that ImageKit is responsible, the rejection was rescinded within a day.
