Running out of App

My husband and another 23/ employee work from our house each day, and pretty much everyday I provide them with a new and exciting iphone app idea. I come up with these ideas as I need them, and I am always thinking big money.

I used to think my ideas were ground breaking and sure things, but recently the boys have been shooting down each and every idea. Either the potential money maker has already been built or there is some technical controversy that I do not even try to understand. At first I thought that maybe my pregnant brain had vomited out all of its creativity, but then I started thinking that with statistics like these I cannot blame my lack of creativity.

There are close to 75000 apps in the app store

They are developed by nearly 15000 producers

There are roughly 50,000,000 downloaded apps thus far.

Only 4000 (+/- a few) have been removed from the app store

And for each idea you come up with, there is a 87.67% chance that the app has already been built or is in the process of being built.

Sorry to break the news everyone, but as far as I am concerned there is no hope for the lay person. We might as well leave it to the professionals.
