As much as I dislike the idea of making software to be sold only through a channel controled by Apple, the sales seem to be doing pretty well. See http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/08/10/21/iphone_app_store_continues_to_exceed_itunes_song_sales_growth.html and http://www.roughlydrafted.com/2008/09/12/iphone-apps-store-growing-twice-as-fast-as-itunes-music/ Seen from that prism, serious maybe be defined by "can be sold" + "low starting investment" + "sales".
