17 October, 2010
The Apple App Store is still undeniably the leader in application stores. Without much fanfare, sometime yesterday evening it passed the 300,000 apps mark- less than two months after is passed the count of...

Anonymous, 17 Oct 2010Windows has lots of crap software too but why does it count... more& what if they used any of the 1st 3 iphones? or other apple products?
just cause they didn't used iphone4 doesn't mean they can't comment on apple products...cause saying so proves that the iphone 4 is the ONLY decent phone apple ever came up with & the rest were just money grabbing piece of crap (as we all know!)...adding 1 or 2 features at a time & you dumb fucks still falling for it & standing in line at 2 in the morning at apple stores every single time they bring out something new whether it's useful or useless (like the iPad. i own an ipod touch 3rd gen & i find the ipad as just another stupid money grabbing device with no significant purpose. i laughed at the commercial when the guy said, "what is ipad? ipad is thin..." lmao xD okay, you really convinced me to buy it there, stupid guy!)
& about the apps, we all know that there's only a handful of useful apps, the rest are fart apps, silly voice oriented apps for kids, replicas of other apps, pointless apps, etc. i tried to download a few on my ipod touch & purchased a few too. so don't tell me that we don't know what the app store has to offer & we can't talk shit about it. & dragging in ovi store & other app stores doesn't justify anything about what apple store is...that's a fallacy in your argument there, pulling in other examples to divert attention & making pointless comparison...everyone's talking about apple appstore here so if you can't keep it to that then your arguments are just as pointless & useless as most of apple products!

    I have to admit it that the App Store revolutionized the mobile market. How much it has carried Apple and created many others to follow the same suit is a huge testament.

      I bet the Android Store and Ovi have the same percentage of "bloatware" than the Appstore.

            thousand of these apps being replicas of other almost exact same apps available,thousands being wallpapers or other so called 'apps',thousands being fart apps or bacon farts or even worse. Most worringly though is the that pie chart showing percentages of these being paid vs free is extraordinaryly unbalance and shows the massive unnessary cost that is all things and all things associated with the iphone

                Windows has lots of crap software too but why does it count for 85% of the computers OS? Because of choice. More apps = more choice. More choice = more competition (for developers). More competition = better apps.

                90% of the people dissing the iPhone and Appstor never used an iPhone 4 (no, playing it at an Apple Store doesn't count). To really enjoy it's full potential, you need to seriously use/play with it for a few days. You really can't have anything bad to say about the IOS interface. It just makes my fingers so happy.

                                300000 apps, and all of them for touchscreen? So sad. I borrowed a touchscreen to try it out, got some games and the only game I played more than twice was Bejeweled, and even that one feels way better when using keys.

                                  Feature phone user, 17 Oct 2010I'm just a feature phone owner. Not a smartphone. My cellph... moreFirst tell me which FEATURED PHONE do u use then I will answer you.

                                  And r u insane that u comparing Java apps to iOS ?? Lolz.
                                  Oh God. It's giving me cramps of ur knowledge. Anyways without making fun of ur intellectual status , Lemme get some points clear.
                                  Every handset can do what every other handset can do , but the Point is how it does that. U can email but can u compare that to push mail on iPhone or android ?
                                  You gave the example of ereader so tell me that ur e reader experience compares to that on iBooks on iPhone ?
                                  You read news , but does that compares in efficiency and elegance to PULSE on iPhone ?
                                  You take notes but are they as elegant functional like on Awesome Notes on iPhone ?
                                  Compare Games on iPhone 4 with ur Java games on ur so called FEATURED PHONE and if u say that JAVA games are better then all I can say is lemme BOOK a BED in PSYCHIATRY ward for You.
                                  But now am curious which FEATURED PHONE you use and name me the apps that u use and let the people here decide ur mental status. Seriously tell us ?

                                    Tell you the truth it's way simpler than I though cutting a normal sim into Micro.
                                    But you should know that u won't be able to use that sim in other cell phones then.
