how long before the iphone trolls come and brag about their 100k apps that consists of crappier versions of websites, fart noises, crap ported games, and other useless nonproductive "apps"
@Troll The iPhone App market has 100k apps and most of them are crap because of Apple's marketing of the iPod touch. They marketed it as a gaming device, as such, it was aimed toward the younger audiences, casual users. And all those apps flooded the App Store market to little tweens for them to have fun. That is both bad and good for the iPhone App Store.
That said, not all of the iPhone Apps are crap, as many have said before. Some are very well done. Just gotta find the hidden gems.
i agree, most of my friends have ipod touches, and i havent seen any good apps. there is maybe a few good apps for the iphone that you need to pay for but thats it. most of the apps are 2-d games, picture apps, joke apps, noise making apps or a 3-d app with "buttons" in the corners of the screen. not much to brag about. plus i can play all of those games on addictingames.com anyways
@PalmIsGarbage It's great that you spent 3 minutes creating your name just to be a douche, but personally I don't give a flying fuck. And I don't many other people do as well. Go away and stop spamming you're incoherent hate.
@Thinker stop crying palm fanboy. freedom of speech!
... and by the way, my name isnt denigrating the "palm name", palm's sad attempts at smartphones is denigrating to a name that hasnt been worth much for many years
@HighestRanked When did I ever say Apple dictates what Developers create? You read what I said right? Apple marketed the device (iPod touch) as a gaming device. "Funnest iPod ever". Developers see that and clamor to that aspect to make the big/quick bucks, making what people who use the iPod touch would want. That flooded the App Store, which is for both the iPhone and iPod touch.
The Galaxy Tab 10.1, much like its Limited Edition sibling that we reviewed last month, is ever-so-slightly thinner than the iPad 2, a slate that most sane individuals (and competitors, for that matter) would confess is the market leader today.

@AndroidRokz nope, the original isn't back, that was Paul A Chapel,

Engadget,
Please deny/remove such names: "PalmIsG...."
...it is a denigration of the Palm brand!
@Teslanaut "most of them are crap because of Apple's marketing..."
Dead wrong. Apple does not tell developers what apps to create. Try again.
@(Unverified) "most of my friends have ipod touches, and i havent seen any good apps."
Funny how some people try to pretend that, because it's Apple's, having the largest app library catalog of any app store is somehow a fault.
I'll let you in on a hint. Gizmodo publishes a list of best iPhone apps each month and they're quite amazing. Here you go, best of '09 edition:

@HighestRanked
I agree. I don't know why people think that more choice is a bad thing.
All it proves is that more developers are making apps for the iPhone... instead of other platforms.

Please, do not take what I say out of context.
