No, but the gold rush might be. The iPhone is still a very viable platform for making money selling software. Mobile apps can be incredibly useful, and the App Store makes it easy for people to spend money.
It's hard to get noticed right now because there has been an absolute flood of apps. As people start to figure out that not all app developers get rich, that flood will slow to a more reasonable stream.
There does seem to be a market inefficiency in the huge disparity in sales between apps that are featured by Apple and apps that aren't. Picking up that slack in the market has to be an opportunity for a startup. If Apple isn't providing a good way for great apps to be found in the App Store, someone else should.
