How will these 2 companys (or 1 now) survive in the next few years, especially considering Window Mobile all versions upto 6.5.3 and palm OS are slowly being phazed out, as mostly those user would download apps from various wesite.]]>Feb 23rd 2010 6:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/23/pocketgear-acquires-handango-becomes-worlds-largest-cross-plat/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/23/pocketgear-acquires-handango-becomes-worlds-largest-cross-plat/"number of actually useful"

You really had to give App Store a positive spin? But I actually wonder how many of the 140k apps available on the App Store there is actually useful - because *god* there is much 'pure' crap.

If we really had to narrow the catalogue down to great and useful applications (on App Store), we're probably talking a few thousands - which I find perfectly fine, but the numbers tell us nothing..]]>Feb 23rd 2010 7:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/23/pocketgear-acquires-handango-becomes-worlds-largest-cross-plat/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/23/pocketgear-acquires-handango-becomes-worlds-largest-cross-plat/I thought the same thing. Spin struck me as more disturbing than the news struck me as interesting. Too bad.]]>Feb 23rd 2010 7:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/23/pocketgear-acquires-handango-becomes-worlds-largest-cross-plat/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/23/pocketgear-acquires-handango-becomes-worlds-largest-cross-plat/
It's called "moving the goal posts".

First bash companies for not having an App store.

When they get one, then bash them for not having the most apps.

When they get more apps, then go into "well how many of them are useful" bash, which is an absurd metric for measurement.

Who knows how many in any of these stores are useful! If someone needs a fart app, one that is all 3D, or one that is mostly text and check boxes, then it's useful.]]>Feb 23rd 2010 8:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/23/pocketgear-acquires-handango-becomes-worlds-largest-cross-plat/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/23/pocketgear-acquires-handango-becomes-worlds-largest-cross-plat/Feb 23rd 2010 9:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/23/pocketgear-acquires-handango-becomes-worlds-largest-cross-plat/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/23/pocketgear-acquires-handango-becomes-worlds-largest-cross-plat/
Is there a 3D fart app available? I'd find that useful. ~S

Now we're cheering their unholy union on as a competitor to the OEM stores?
