I "failed" (your word, not mine) on the App Store for almost two years before getting to some decent, steady success with an iPad app. I put out several apps myself and on behalf of two different employers since day one of the app store, and most of them went (more or less) nowhere. For the app that does make money, it was really about the tried and true technique of "build something people want", instead of "build something useless you think is awesome and pray".
