Recently, an iPhone app (which expanded to Android & Blackberry too by the 2nd email - for the same price). I was also required to give guarantees, under penalty of compensation, that Apple would accept it into the app store. I was told the budget was $800 with a possible $200 bonus if it was done within 2 weeks.

I've had worse offers in the past but this one was from someone I understand to be fairly well known on the American morning TV circuit.

I am hearing a lot of this too: "You'll get paid when the app is available for sale in Apple's App Store." So ridiculous.
