I think you just confirmed my comment.

I just want to add:

- It saddens me that a lot of sentiment here is about making easy money. Imho, we should not stimulate people who just graduated to write screensavers to be sold to Google.

- In a world full of distraction, these apps provide even more distraction (here they even interfere with sleep).

- The people who make these apps have skills that can be put to use in much better and interesting ways.

- This kind of news does not contribute to the "high-tech news" that I really want to read.

That said, I applaud the OP for learning the Android APIs in a creative way.
