"As of last week, about 30 people had downloaded Frost’s application"

"angel $ offer"

Uh oh.. are we in another bubble? I hope not...

Oh, come on! How old are you (pun intended). I know I'd have been deliriously happy if any of my apps had gotten a write up like this when I had been 13. Even in a local newspaper.

Not that I managed to publish any marketable apps at that age.

Not that there was an app store to market them on when most of us were that age.

You may do have a point there. :)

"I know I'd have been deliriously happy if any of my apps had gotten a write up like this when I had been 13"

Actually I can assure you that there is a inverse relationship between age and the chance of getting a newspaper to write an article about something you have done. "17 year old gets into medical school" is barely interesting. "13 year old gets into medical school" is definitely interesting. Same with business, computers, or just about anything.
