Apple releases new... everything
mgz:
sure you can, because 90% of the people who use 90% of the apps = stupid little games, people who want things like an iphone for the functionality of a PDA get a blackberry plain and simple.
Because apps arent that big of a deal in reality

... which is why Palm, the Open Handset Alliance, Microsoft, and RIM are all launching their own "App Stores".

A large portion of iPhone/iPod Touch apps may be games, but that doesn't mean that there aren't useful apps. Take a look at the iTunes store some time... there's a reason there's 19 application categories that aren't games.

Well you would be stupid to not wanna take 30% of the sale of a 1-5$ app that is the same rehashed games and the occasional useful app.
Lets be honest look at the business model for an App store type thing its fucking retarded to not have one if you have a large user base.
And just because 19 categories exist doesnt mean even 17 of them have a useful program.
Wasnt there that 5000$ program called something like Im Rich or something stupid and it was just a picture of a diamond.

Another processor ≠ another core.

But then again 90% of the Apps people get are stupid bullshit games and sound effect based bullshit

Sturgeon's Law. Ninety percent of software on any system is going to be crap. You can't just compare the lowest common denominator.

Defeat Sturgeon's Law by choosing the software you want on your system.
