Without wanting to get tarred with the negativity brush, I think you might need to do some research before you boldly proclaim your ideas. It's important to note that even the industry nabobs think the app market is dangerously speculative and could suffer a collapse. The market has recently been likened to both Tin Pan Alley and an olden days gold rush. Here's some sobering quotes:
"The barriers to entry are definitely increasing [...] People don't realize how much marketing it takes to get in front of people" - Amos Marvel, co-founder of Hidden Variable Studios, who developed a No.1 app around a year ago and are yet to recover their costs.
"We estimate that up to two-thirds of the apps in leading consumer app store catalogues receive fewer than 1,000 downloads in their first year, and a significant proportion of those get none at all" - Tim Shepherd, Senior Analyst, Canalys
"The closest thing I’ve seen to a ‘business model’ for marketing iPhone apps is to advertise like crazy until you get into the top 50 [...] Once you’re there, the top 50 list will start generating its own buzz...But that’s not a business model, that’s like rolling the dice at a casino" - David Barnaby, AppCubby
