What do you think about mobile apps as a way to make money?

-Hi guys. I've noticed that you seem to be hearing lately about a whole bunch of ppl who have made a fair bit of cash making mobile apps. Coming from a development background, I'm thinking about trying to capitalize on this consumer trend myself (having just come out of a dead web development business).



Do you think that there is genuine potential in mobile app markets as a way to create wealth? And do you think that eventually the whole thing will blow over like the dot-com boom?



Thanks guys.
