I've been in the App Store since opening day and in all that time I have made a grand total of $26, far below what I've paid to be in the program.

My wife is going to let me do one more app, and if it doesn't earn enough to break even, I am instructed to shut down operations.

I am very impressed with and jealous of this kid's success.

Same story here, down to the dollar amount, except I was in the WP7 store. I say was because earning cents an hour wasn't a terribly attractive proposition.

Out of curiosity, what are your apps?

I don't have any iOS devices--I'm just curious.
