        [deleted post]Its the same as any App Store. You can only have a certain amount of gimmicks on a touchscreen device. Rehashes or copies are going to appear.

        The Zx Spectrum had a lot of garbage games released for it. Like any game console/device you get diamonds in the rough.

              Why all the bitchiness from people. We have our own things we like & dislike. If we all liked the same the world would be boring. I have the iphone 4 & im very happy with it. Not tried the other phones so can't coment.

                I do not have any IPhone, can anyone tell us what are the 5 top ranked games and the 5 top ranked apps? It is easier to decide if IPhone is any good or not if we know if the apps and games are good or not, while the actual number of games and apps is irrelevant because nobody will install thousands of apps on their phone anyway?

                    To all those people trashing the App Store

                    RIM, Android and Ovi would LOVE to be as popular as Apple's App Store. Get over it, It's the best out there.

                    And there isn't one fart app in the top 100, so you're talking BS there.

                    OOoh Angry Birds on Android. Yawn, I've been playing it for a year. It's nice that the underpriviliged get something for free.

                        Anonymous, 17 Oct 2010plenty of useless games & apps quality over quantityMy favourite apps so far:

                        1Password: Password protection app
                        Facebook
                        Twitter
                        Pulse: Newsfeed reader
                        Whatsapp
                        Epic Win: To do list app, with RPG layer on top (lol hilarious app)
                        Business Card Reader: Takes photo of biz card, and scans info into Address Book
                        F1 Official Timing app: Live updates with car positions during races
                        Amplitube (with iRig): Plug in electric guitar and jam on your iPhone or iPad (amazing!)
                        Autostitch: Creates panoramas from multiple photos

                        Games:
                        Street Fighter 4
                        Need For Speed Shift
                        Rogue Planet (Like Advanced Wars for Nintendo DS)
                        Modern Combat 2: Black Pegasus
                        Tilt to Live (Damn addictive)
                        Predators
                        Dodonpachi (bullet hell style game)
                        Mirror's Edge

                        I believe that currently it is very difficult for any other mobile phone platform to match iOS in terms of gaming. The only platform which I think may be able to do this is Windows Phone 7, as they will leverage their XBox Live assets. Android has some quality titles, but is not very attractive to developers due to model fragmentation.

                                  i would like to know 2 things:
                                  how many of these apps are useful and whether in the free section, they are including the trial version of the game and thus count them as a different app???

                                      who cares,"

                                      Actually, people do care. Gamers for example, would look to the App Store that gives them what they want, quality and fun games, and currently Apple App Store provides this. True, there are many crappy games available, but the sheer number of buyers has attracted major publishers like Sega, Capcom, EA and Square Enix. My personal faves: Need For Speed Shift, Street Fighter 4 and Chaos Rings.

                                      Developers also care, as they would want to see which platform would give them the best investment return. ngmoco, which was started up only 2 years ago with 10 million, was sold last week to a Japanese group for 400 million.
