    I completely agree with your statement, as application developers have been a high gross salary for doing so little. The most popular games cost nothing for the programmer but an annual income of close to 50,000 a year. Apple has help develop this part of the IT world to new heights. As technology continues to grow and improve there needs to be strong reliable people to run the technology and keep it up to date, which is where we IT majors come in. Using the expansion of applications users, there constantly needs to be new designs, new games, and new software apps for the company to keep improving. I believe your ideas are very interesting and I like the use of the numbers to help represent the amount of money one may make and how the application world is developing. Multimedia and entertainment on phones has increased the buying power of a particle your phone. When someone ask, “what would you want more, an iPhone or a 2000 series cellphone? And Why?” the easy response would be an IPhone, because it can do more.
