Just like Larry Page or Steve Jobs? Eeeyep. I see success in this kid's future. Too bad he isn't making apps for Google Play Apps.
Your comment was hilarious, just a little uncalled for.

Ugly Nerd + $$$ = naked hookers

I dont see what the big deal with hookers is anyways.. as long as u dont get the cheap ones. Instead of paying them with dinner and a movie for sex, your paying them to leave afterwards. sounds a lot more honest to me... lol

Some idiot android fan with nothing to do. My son went to WWDC via apple, and said it was a great experience for him. He also got a free iPad 3... Saved me some bucks.

Some idiot Android fan? You must be a cretin yourself then. Why are Android fans idiots?

Two million downloads, $8,000? That's less than a half penny per download. What's he charging for these?

8,000? I would have thought it would be closer to 2,000,000 - maybe he has a lot of costs....still pretty cool. When I was his age I was programming in BASIC and learning PASCAL.

Ha! You're dating yourself. I actually took a college course in Fortran F77. that's like ancient hieroglyphics today.

Ah, hadn't thought of that. It's nice to see enterprising kids like these. I wish them lots of success.

It's probably a free app. This kid is probably going to be very successful

sounds like its an ad supported app.
Still, 8k when your that young? thats frikkin awesome. Go kid go!
23. tedkord posted on 18 Jun 2012, 14:37 7 0
Still, he oughta put a nominal price on them, and at least bring home a dime per DL. $80,000 would be a whole lot more awesome!
26. tedkord posted on 18 Jun 2012, 14:42 5 0
Make that $200,000. I was thinking he was getting a penny per download, forgot it was $0.004.
29. remixfa posted on 18 Jun 2012, 14:54 6 0
oh, I totally think he should go for the 10 cent mark. 2 million downloads is pretty substantial He needs to start pullin in the G's. Its kind of odd though, since Rovio makes boatloads off of ingame advertising, and he's making so little. I realize rovio has a bazillion more downloads, but u think he would be making more per click.
Maybe his apps arent used that much after DL. Most of the advert money is made from apps that have high use statistics.
Still. again.. go kid go. :)
