I've heard from successful app marketers that the target audience for the App Store is 13 to 14-yr old kids, using their parents credit card on their iTunes accounts.
Apps that are better than anything Apple makes will always do well[1]. But I think we should lower our "standards", our hubris and make something of entertainment value. Something that makes 13 to 14-yr olds look cool. Because peer approval and recognition is everything at that age for most people of that age.
The App Market (Android) and App Store (iOS) and Marketplace (Windows 7) let you reach teenage consumers in a way that doesn't require much marketing, just the right product at the right time.
