i was reading an article the other day that discussed how some apps are "stuffing the ballot box" by setting up thousands of fake itunes accounts and then using them to buy back their own applications to drive them up the charts. not saying this is the case here. but it is interesting. basically the company loses 30% of their costs to apple as their advertising fee since they get 70% back. silly, but it can be profitable i guess.
still, either they just got lucky with word-of-mouth, or maybe the A1 in the name puts it first in people's search, but personally I don't think it is worth the money over iCab or even Atomic. it's barely much more than safari.
