Play Free Bird!
Next time you're at a concert and just gotta have an encore, don't pull out a cigarette lighter. Instead, launch iLightr!iLightr is a virtual cigarette lighter for iPhone and iPod touch that is available in the App Store now (click opens iTunes). It's only US$0.99 and is an amazingly good simulation of a lighter.
You can choose from several different case designs, light the lighter with either a flick of the wrist or by sliding your finger along the sparker, and the flame sways back and forth as you move the iPhone. The sound effects alone are pretty amazing.
iLighter was developed by Ubermind and is localized in English, French, German, Spanish, and Japanese. The developers do not offer a guarantee that iLighter will cause an 80's hair band to play an encore, nor can iLighter be used to start fires.

Is this the moment when TUAW finally jumped the shark?

Freebird the song title is one word, otherwise you're just telling a bird to play freely.

Why is Apple allowing all this junk to clutter up the App Store?

I love how garbage like this is allowed on the App Store, yet productive (and fully legal) apps like NetShare are pulled in a most Fascist fashion.

So let me get this straight...an accurate simulation of up to 5 dice is free, but an app that simulates a lighter is 99 cents? I don't get it.
