Beware of imitators

So, iPropose has done exceedingly well in the first
week of release. It has been downloaded 3000 times!
Not too shabby. In addition to this early popularity,
iPropose has already seen its first round of
copy-cats.
Another series of applications, named (unsurprisingly), “iPropose,” were released on January 19th. Ignoring the fact that both the name and the description have been ripped off, the author of this doppelgänger adds two additional SKU’s for the gay and lesbian community, respectively. All this, despite the fact that the description of my iPropose is left intentionally ambiguous for the purposes of hetero- or homo- relationships.
All things considered, I’m not losing sleep over the fact that there is another “proposal” app. I am a bit confused about the fact that other developers can just rip Application names off of previously released apps, though. Moreover, the other developer in question is charging 0.99 cents for their applications, and we all know that’s going to really fly. >.>

Happy Belated New Year, everyone!
I wasn’t at all busy during the break. Rather, I played a monstrous amount of video games. I did manage to squeeze in time to program my first iPhone app. I submitted it to the App Store on Monday, and it currently is undergoing review. The app is called “iPropose.” The product description is available under the “Games & Apps” section of the site.
