Get a whiff of this. Some iPhone developers are still raking in large piles of cash with their apps, and recently a fart application made nearly $10,000 in a single day.

Joel Comm, developer of iFart Mobile, published download statistics of his app, and this week it stood at No. 1 overall with over 13,000 downloads.

The app costs a dollar, and Apple takes 30 percent of the pie. So that amounts to about $9,200 in profit for the developer.

That's pretty impressive, considering Apple previously didn't believe fart applications met the standards of the App Store. In September, Apple rejected a similar novelty app called Pull My Finger on the grounds that it had "limited utility." Just recently Apple reversed that decision and approved a number of other fart apps as well.

A fart app is the most downloaded iPhone application this week. Is this a means to celebrate or feel depressed? You decide.
