Android accounts for one-quarter of mobile web traffic
Android is mopping up Apple and RIM's declining mobile mindshare in the US, you'll find nothing but corroboration from Quantcast. The analytics firm reckons a full one-quarter of mobile web traffic stateside comes from devices running Google's OS
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
True. But look at the iPhone itself, before, almost all touchscreens were resistive and certainly not multitouch. Before the app store, only smart/geeky people downloaded apps to phones, now everyone can download any of 28,000+ apps. If apple does recording, it will be low res, hav awful limitations, and be totally amazing.
There is more evidence from the developers with the betas that the next iPhone will be able to play 720p. What it will record in is a different story, but it should be able to do the 480p that is SDTV, but based on the width it would be considered EDTV. That is Hulu's "high def" option, which isn't so bad. Though it still comes down to bitrate in the end. I assume sound will be horrible.
I'm not sure why, but I become deeply and personally offended whenever somebody casually mentions the number of programs available in the App Store in a sentence. I think I'm going to start listing how many baseball cards I own in every post, it's equally pointless and the same number of people will care. I have four hundred and sixty two baseball cards.

How is a mention of available apps for the iPhone irrelevant in an iPhone usability discussion? The number of baseball cards you have is irrelevant anywhere on engadget unless we're talking about a baseball card scanner, or some other trading card related technology.
I take that back. If there's an iPhone app that catalogs your baseball cards, automatically finding images and current values of the cards on the web, then the number of cards you have IS important, as it relates to the App Store. Otherwise, we don't care. Stick to the subject. (for those of you who forgot, it's iPhone Apps, specifically, movie apps.)

It's irrelevant because a simple count of Apps speaks nothing to quality or need. Would you rather have 28,000 crappy apps available or 100 great apps?
The fact is that you reach a certain point where the number of apps is completely irrelevant. What is more important is identifying what you want on your phone and seeing if an application is available to meet your needs. We all know that a vast majority of the apps on the iPhone will NEVER make it on your phone because you have absolutely zero use for it.
well, because of the sheer quantity of apps on the app store, there are already well over 100 great high quality apps in all categories.
I guarantee you that no app store with only 500 apps is gonna have 100 great ones.
