I do think they need to clean out the utter crap that is all over the app store.

also probably be good if there was a bit of apps in the apps store really it's like 95% games and 5% apps, you go through the app store in 2 days and you've looked at everything on there.

no one has taken development serious with iPhone development. There are a few developers who are but still very few to the amount of developers trying to make a quick buck from app's.
