the funniest thing i've read all day

(and that includes a whole lot of reading about that hot lady for vice president)

Via Daring Fireball:

27 year old Frisian developer Eric Wijngaard won $275,000 in Google’s Android Developer Challenge for his ‘PicSay’ application.

In an interview with a Dutch website he says he likes Google’s SDK but “What I really wanted to do was develop an iPhone app. The iPhone SDK wasn’t out yet, though.”

Asked what he would do with the cash, his response was “I guess I could invest it in my software company, but first I want to port PicSay to the iPhone.”

That guy is hilarious.

Update: Sanjuro points out that the developer blogged: "Then a reader, probably a devoted iPhone fan, decided to creatively translate parts of one of these articles in English, which started the whole thing."

Rats. It would have been pretty funny had it been true...

It looks like he's been intentionally mistranslated; on his blog you can read what he really said:
