A Koi Pond Right In Your Phone

I'm Marc Gittleman from Hard Drive 911 for TekieTV.Com, your best source for technology news and technology reviews. We've been taking a look at the most popular downloads from the iPhone App store, and some of these applications are more gimmicky than others. Take, for example, the inexplicably popular “Koi Pond” app... it's a pretty app that turns your iPhone screen into a serene pond which beautiful Koi fish swim around in. The iPhone's touchscreen technology allows you to run your hands through the surface of the water and cause the fish to scatter, or just stare at them blankly as they swim around your screen. The app is designed to relax you after a stressful day at work, and it's undeniably pretty to look at. But is it worth the money? “Koi Pond” is only 99 cents, but even at less than a dollar, it might be too much for an app you'll probably get bored with within a half hour of downloading it. But what do I know? “Koi Pond” was the third most popular paid download from the App Store this past week. I guess there are a lot of people looking to relieve their stress with digital fish swimming around on their expensive cellular phones. I'm Marc Gittleman from Hard Drive 911 for TekieTV.Com.
