No, I'm simply saying that the mobile advertising market is paying others (apps, websites, etc.) to ultimately reach me. What if I could cut out the middle man and essentially let them pay to reach me directly. I'm "opting in" to be advertised to directly, not randomly, and therefore would let them pay me rather than pay others. I'm more about efficiency than anything. Why can't I list my phone for "advertisement" and then take a cut of that?
I wonder if you could even sell a "temporary app" with like 100,000 users to someone. Then a new app could buy that temporary app, swap in their app and all the 100,000 users split the proceeds.<p>Would that be do-able or would Apple kill that idea?
Has anyone ever actually tried to do something like this in the AppStore or Android Marketplace? Perhaps even to acquire an app and totally replace it with a new app? This seems like it <i>should</i> be do-able... yes, no, maybe?
