The events of September 11 left an indelible mark on the American — and world — psyche. With the event’s 10 year anniversary just weeks away, be prepared to see a wave of cash-in apps appearing, all designed to take advantage of tragedy to turn a profit.
The href="http://www.observer.com/2011/08/911-memorial-app-to-be-ipad-exclusive/">New York Observer has an article about an app called “9/11 Memorial: Past, Present and Future” made by Steve Rosenbaum. It’ll have 400 photographs and hours of video. And it’s coming to the iPad for $9.95 (though it’ll be free from Sept 1-12). And it’s an iPad exclusive.
I’m not casting doubt on Rosenbaum’s motives here, but be aware: there will be an influx of 9/11 memorial apps, and you can bet that most of them will lead to someone making money off of the grief of a nation.
