(Well, maybe that&#8217;s a bit over-dramatized, but you get the point).</p>
<p>How about this &#8211; AppMakr.com allows you to create content based iPhone applications in under 30 seconds!</p>
<p>Yes, 30 seconds!</p>
<p>From the official <a href="http://www.prweb.com/releases/PointAbout/AppMakr/prweb3403134.htm" target="_blank">press release</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>AppMakr offers, for the first time, a “What You See is What You Get” WSYWIG interface for creating a fully native iPhone application. Users can enter a website URL or keywords and AppMakr will create a sample iPhone app in under 30 seconds built from that content.</p>
<p>Users can then customize the iPhone application by:</p>
<p>1.    Adding content feeds, including Twitter, RSS, iTunes podcast, Flickr, YouTube, Blogger, mp4, and others</p>
<p>2. Changing the app’s branding, including the icon, splash screen, tab icons, header image, and text colors</p>
<p>3. Monetizing the app by charging for it on iTunes, or by adding ads from AdMob, Medialets, DoubleClick and Google AdSense</p>
<p>Publishing the app to the iTunes App Store is as easy as choosing between two options:</p>
<p>·     The Easy Way: AppMakr publishes your app for $199</p>
<p>·     You&#8217;re In Control: Publish under your own brand for $499.</p>
<p>Full pricing details are available http://www.AppMakr.com/pricing</p></blockquote>
<p>Amazing! Watch the <a href="http://www.appmakr.com/learn_more/" target="_blank">video demo</a></p>
