The Most Insane Apple (AAPL) App Of All Time


Apple’s (NASDAQ:AAPL) App store offers an extraordinarily large number of downloads–more than 85,000. The store has downloaded more than two billion piece of software.

Developers are constantly creating new application in the hope of offering free services that may bring them fame or marketing opportunities for paid products. Other applications cost iPhone and iPod customers money, but only a few are popular enough to create a cash bonanza for their creators.

The efforts of corporations to market their products at the App store has finally gone too far.

Agribusiness giant Conagra (NYSE:CAG) will offer a new download with a voice recognition package to help sell its Parkay margarine. Whenever the word “butter” is spoken into an iPhone or iPod that has the Conagra app on the device it will respond with the word “Parkaaaaay”.
