Here's What My 3 Year-Old Bought From The AppStore

Note to self..log out of the AppStore before letting son play with
iPhone. And what kind of message does it send to companies trying to
capture attention in crowded app stores?
Ok so he's only three, but his purchases were driven by the icons of

Pay attention to detail and represent your brand/company at every turn
like it's the last time anyone will ever see you.
