My Dream App

OMG, I haven't updated my blog for over three months now!
Anyways, I came across My Dream App about a month ago when I was reading TUAW. This is how My Dream App works: it's for people who have such great ideas, but don't have the programming skills (like me). You submit your great ideas to My Dream App about 'your dream application'. If your idea is good enough you will be chosen as one of the 24 contestants. Then there will be an elimination round, if you get eliminated in the first round (6 eliminations) you get an iPod shuffle. It's stated that you get the 512MB version on the site, but I think you're going to get the new updated one that came out on Sept. 12th. Then if you get eliminated in the second round (6 eliminations), you get a 1GB iPod nano, again I think it's going to be the new 2GB nano. If you get eliminated in the third round (3 eliminations) you get a 2GB iPod nano, again probably the new 4GB nano. If you get eliminated in the fourth round (3 eliminations) you get a 30GB 5th gen. iPod. I think they should let the person choose between the 8GB nano or the 30GB iPod because if it was me I'd rather get the nano, I already have a 60GB 5th gen. iPod. If you get eliminated in the fifth round (3 eliminations), you get a 1.5Ghz Mac mini, again I think it's going to be the new 1.67Ghz Core Duo mini. And if you are the 3 winners, you get a 1.83Ghz MacBook (or a new version if a new one comes out before the competition ends) and a lifetime contract where you get 15% of the money made by your shareware.
Now if you think about it, 15% is *BETTER* than 0%. And if you learn to program yourself and make your own program, you might not get as much publicity. So getting 15% from these dudes at My Dream App is not a bad deal! You might get more from this than 100% from making your own app!
