#1 iPhone App in the world

Hats off to the team over at Firemint in Richmond, Melbourne, Australia. Working on the Walmart principle of “Stack them high, watch them fly”, they have created a polished game with a simple premise and extremely well suited to the iPhones touch screen technology whilst being addictive and thought provoking – but not too much so – all at once. For the reasonable sum of $2.99 USD, Flight Control has become the most popular iPhone application in the world. And to celebrate this achievement, they have at time of writing cut the price to 0.99 cents. Whilst this is obviously to seed the way for their new and upcoming titles – so what? It works, it’s fun and it’s good value.
