<p>Warning: Video possibly NSFW-ish. If bikini bouncing will get you in trouble, stay clear.</p>

<p>We previously mentioned in passing that Apple had rejected <a href="http://www.imore.com/2008/12/21/state-apps-devcash-hand-keywords-spammed-iboobs-banned-approval-process-jammed/">iBoobs</a>, an iPhone app that presented accelerometer-powered cartoon jiggling. Apparently this crossed even the (sigh) fart app line. Well, the <a href="http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/01/16/apple_boobs_again/">Register</a> says Wobble decided to get around this by not providing any built in booty, cartoon or otherwise. All it does is enable user-definable &#8220;wobble&#8221; zones in ANY photo or image. We&#8217;re guessing that while the above video makes the real focus clear enough, Wobble was likely submitted to Apple with more innocuous images, like jello or cartoon puppies or what not.</p>

<p>As such, Wobble is now one of the more than <a href="http://www.imore.com/2009/01/16/apple-15000-iphone-apps-billion-downloads/">15,000 apps</a> available via the <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=301166113&#038;mt=8">iTunes App Store</a>. You buying it? Protesting it? Protesting out loud while nonchalantly hitting the download link?</p>

<p>And guys, before you get too jiggly with it, just imagine what the ladies might do in Wobble revenge&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.imore.com/images/stories/2008/08/jobs_speaks_app_store.jpg" alt="" title="jobs_speaks_app_store" width="400" height="256" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3757" /></p>

<p>While many iPhone devs probably haven&#8217;t struck it rich (just as many of the apps flooding the store haven&#8217;t yet been strike-it-rich worthy), quality products that find an audience are still proving to be massive income sources for some developers reports <strike>Fake Steve</strike> Real Dan Lyons in <a href="http://www.newsweek.com/id/174266">Newsweek</a>:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Greenstone, 41, has been writing games for Apple&#8217;s computers for 21 years. But he says he&#8217;s never seen anything like the iPhone apps phenomenon, which this year will deliver $5 million in revenue for him. &#8220;It&#8217;s crazy. It&#8217;s like lottery money. In the last four and a half months we&#8217;ve made as much money off the retail sales of iPhone apps as we&#8217;ve made with retail sales of all of the apps that we&#8217;ve made in the past 21 years—combined.&#8221; Business is so good that Greenstone won&#8217;t even bother writing for the Mac anymore.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Daniel wrote in to let us know the obvious: Apple rejected iBoobs from the App Store. Duh or d&#8217;oh, we guess, depending on your point of view. Did the dev think Pull my Finger made this okay? Cheer or jeer the <a href="http://dailymobile.se/forum/apple-iphone/iboobs-application-video/">video</a> if you have to.</p>

<p>Tapbots developer Paul Hadda, whom <a href="http://www.imore.com/2008/11/03/tipb-interview-weightbot-developers-mark-jardine-paul-haddad-discuss-iphone-interface-innovation/">TiPb interviewed</a> a while back and whose awesome WeightBots app has just hit <a href="http://tapbots.com/weightbot">version 1.2</a>, made a nasty discovery when searching the App Store: <a href="http://tapbots.com/blog/news/latest-appstore-cheat">keyword spam</a>:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>I searched around for other high profile apps and found quite a few developers have chosen to SEO optimize their app description. So first we have apps naming themselves with blanks at the beginning to take advantage of alphabetical listing in the store. Then we have apps going from Free to Paid to take advantage of the top 100 list. And now this SEO hack, what’s next? </p>
</blockquote>

<p>Since <a href="http://www.imore.com/2008/11/18/state-apps-pcalc-hits-12-dirty-tactics-warning-developers-charge-apps/">astroturfing</a> and <a href="http://www.imore.com/2008/11/25/state-apps-mail-app-slips-paying-reviews-nda-22-rejection-redos/">mechanical turk paid ratings</a> are already taken, we&#8217;re betting &#8220;you may have already won&#8230;&#8221; scams, but who knows?</p>
