Is that what has been hapening? Lately, I've been hearing loud, obnoxious, and obviously fake farts while out and about. I thought there had been a resurrection of sales for key chain fart machines. However, in hind site, the people that were making the noises looked like total douches... so it stands to reason they had iPhones on them.
Out of 66,000 apps, around 500 of them are fart related. That's less than 1%. The notion that the App Store is overrun with fart apps is a complete fallacy.
Ironic how Apple initially rejected fart apps, most famously Pull My Finger, then buckled to pressure from outrage in the techie blogosphere. "If I want a fart app, I should be able to have one, wahhh wahhh!" They let 'er rip (no pun intended) and now they have to contend with criticism from the likes of you because there's "too many." I thought we wanted a free and open market to determine how many fart apps there should be?
@MacVicta hahaha, you seriously think that any serious platform that has approximately 1% of its totally application base being FART APPS isn't a major indictment of the quality of the app store? If so, you live in a bubble. add in all the sound boards, ringtone and image "apps" and other useless crap and that number is going to creep up mighty fast.
It's an indictment of the ease with which anyone can create an iPhone app. Apple has no place dictating what applications we can have. Just as they were wrong for banning GV Mobile, they'd be wrong to place a ceiling on the number of fart apps allowed. I want Apple to get the hell out of the way and only guard against malicious software. Demand will take care of the rest.
Should they also clear the iTunes Store of the music you don't deem valuable, McPOW? Does all of the garbage in there act as an indictment of its quality as a music distribution source?
So long as they continue to refine the App Store in ways that let us easily find what we want and need, the number of fart apps available should in no way effect your experience.
I reckon they need subcats so all the fart apps can hang together and you can peruse them, even see the best selling etc in the sub cat. Or flashlightsetc etc
the Nook Color proved it was an undercover tablet all along, Barnes and Noble has hit back with this latest Nook as proof of its focus on one thing: reading.
