"followed by mapping/search apps at 50 percent. Social networking and music rounded out the list, at 49 and 42 percent"
Considering that android comes with all these things, is it any wonder that there are not many downloads in these areas?

Iphone users my have more apps installed, but how many of them are frequently used versus those BB and Android users who my have less apps installed? I guest that kind of question doesn't really matter if the marketing department is only interested in profit/sales, b/c if the customer already paid for the app, what do they care if the app is used or not.

OOOO, I've got more apps than you na na na na na, Sound like school playground stuff to you ? Who gives a f**k, people who buy Apple stuff like to be told what to do or think by his holiness Lord Steve, and I guess Steve is laughing all the way to the bank, most of the apps iphone users buy they play with a couple of times and show off to thier friends after which it just sits there taking up space.
There my pennies worth !

The problem is most of the iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch apps. Many duplicates of the same functions and too many stupid useless apps. If you count the apps that are useful or truly fun then the amount on any platform is much less.

While I love to bash (cr)Apple, I'm afraid android market isn't much better in this regard...for most things, there are a dozen apps, but only one or two of them are any good, and if there are two good apps, then one of them is probably free. If someone were to go through both markets, eliminating apps that are inferior in every way to at least one app that costs the same or less, I bet both markets would be under 1000 apps (not counting games, themes, wallpapers, and other things that are unique among analogs")

I guess I meant that for the Android Platform too. To clarify my statement I will say they both brag about all these Apps and focus on quantity when it is quality that counts. I guess that is why I only have a couple pages of Apps on my iPhone instead of many pages of useless crAPPS like some people.

oh come on lets not forget "shake the baby" thats got to rank up there as a must have... give people more choices and they will have more issues does any one remmber when a phone was only use to make calls when you needed to not when your in line wait to check out and your best freinds girlfreind calls you because she's 2 lines over and wanted to say hi... give it a rest phones are for talking and texting belongs on a computer so why did we ever need to mix the two maybe those people who lost love ones to text while driving should sue the phone companys for alowing texting in motion... just a thought.....
