Actually, the real reason I don't want to tell the app is that it's linked to my name rather obviously, and I don't want people to know that I was that broke.
ah, okay - that's fair enough. the real reason i'm curious is that i want to quit my job and publish my own software.
would you be comfortable telling us what category the app falls into, or giving a sense of what it does? can you say what kind of marketing went into attaining those sales?
I can tell you something - absolutely do not quit your job till you are making $3000 in sales. The Apple iTunes store is a very very fickle baby. It's like a wild horse that is always bucking and trying to throw you off, and to stay on you keep having to think faster and anticipate its moves.
No matter how great your idea is, the Apple store will be unforgiving as hell. There is a LOT to be learned, and while you are learning it, you will need to have a job, because something needs to pay for the mistakes.
