Somewhat related- foreign correspondent (a news show in australia) ran a story last night on the new goldrush for people creating apps. Besides the cliché camera work, it seemed to be full of 'founders' who had written a single, sometimes unproven phone app and were talking about getting hundreds of thousands of dollars in funding, and getting acquired for a billion dollars.

I'm not sure if you can watch it outside of australia, but it's available here: http://www.abc.net.au/foreign/content/2012/s3572792.htm
