There's a quote by Nolan Bushnell I love that says, "Everyone who has ever taken a shower has had an idea. It's the person who gets out of the shower, dries off, and does something about it that makes a difference." Most people reading this have probably had an idea for an iPhone app, but after reading Connor Zamary's story, you might feel a little more pressure to dry off and do something about it.
Connor is a seven-year-old who started his own iOS development company. His first game, the US $0.99 Toaster Pop is aimed at kids his own age. He told Cnet where his idea came from: "My dad was telling me about an old fashioned toaster since I never saw one before. Then it just came to me to create an app, where toast would pop out of the toaster, land on a plate and you would have to butter it with butter."
After he had his idea, Connor laid out the app, formed his own LLC, made PowerPoint presentations, pitched investors, and attended conference calls with developers on the West Coast. He then hired a developer to build the app. All his hard work paid off too. Toaster Pop currently has twenty-six five-star reviews on the App Store.
Connor isn't done making other seven year olds (and adults) look lazy either. He currently has plans for Toaster Pop 2.0, which Cnet says, are hanging on his parents' refrigerator.
