The punk-pop band the LeeVees formed specifically to "spread Hanukkah cheer" and released the 2005 CD, Hanukkah Rocks! Last year...
...cheapness argument is hard to buy, though, since so many iPhone apps are free. Perhaps there just aren't any Festivus-observing developers yet. That would be odd, since Salkin noted that a Grievances application is available to Festivus observers on Facebook, where a number of member groups exist for celebrants. "I don't know how active it is, though," he said. He did have one suggestion for anyone who craved Festivus for their iPhone: You can buy the audio version of his book on the iTunes Music Store...
