Build $1 app; purchase 1000 copies; profit!
1. Build an app 2. Sell it for $100 3. Pay 10 people $200 each to buy it. 4. Collect $8000
You also get 10x$100 back in the form of revenue, so the profit would be closer to $9000.

#44Most indie developers would not be able to make an app that earn $1k, especially on Blackberry. Come on, be realistic.
I have no idea how difficult it would be on Blackberry, but I've made > 1k on over a dozen different apps on iOS. That's really not that hard. Of those, only a few have made 10k though.

Nice...I'm still hoping to reach that level.

#46It is entirely possible that I don't know what I'm talking about, but I don't understand how this plan could possibly work. If developers thought they could make money writing Blackberry apps, wouldn't they already be writing them? Since I don't think $10,000 can cover the cost of developing a native app, I don't see how RIM's bounty would influence a developer's decision to develop for their platform. Am I missing s…
Yes, you are missing Symbian developers ;-)
