The Windows Phone 7 Marketplace has, according to one unofficial source, reached 30,000 apps.
To put the number in perspective, there are close to 500,000 iPhone apps available in the iTunes store and Android Market boasts more than 200,000 apps. Of course between them they also serve nearly two thirds of the global smartphone market.

hiya Myker, precisely.
there is an app for that = app-spam.
so many people crank out as many apps as they can, hopin to cash in on the app gold-rush...and impulsive people end up with heaps of trivial novelty apps on their phones.
I honestly think that WP7 isnt a bad OS and that IF i ever got a smartphone I think I would get a WP7. That being said, just because I like it doesn't the sheep like masses will...
Depends. On how many of them are actually quality apps. All I see on the hundreds of thousands of Apps on iTunes is tens of thousands of apps that do the same thing like make fart noises or trick your friends into thinking you have some sort of advanced security on your iPhone.
I still love WP7 OS when I tried it out, but the hardware and lack of choice per carrier were horrible. Microsoft keeps trying to make a comeback, CES, MWC 2011, but they fail every time. By mid next-year, if they don't release good enough hardware to compete with awesome android phones, there?s no chance in hell this will succeed and MS has spent we'll over half a billion in just the first year. The GSII lookalike will have me sold, IF they bring it to both Bell and Telus. Hopefully not like last year, were the only good WP7 in Canada (Samsung Focus) went to the most expensive carrier (Rogers).
I got a WP7 because the HD7 had the largest screen size T-mobile offered at the time. My main complaints with WP7 will be solved with Mango other than that its a solid OS.
All of these give me headaches. crApple, OShit and the rest are all toys.
Get me a 1983 motorola Dyna TAC 8000X; 785g; 300 X 44 X 89 mm; LED display; with a 6inch aerial AND I'M DONE :D.
