I like the fact that there are lots of weather apps. I have used 3 in total before finding my ultimate weather app. If there was only one weather app I would be pissed off if it was not the one I liked.

Its where you have one app that is split up into multiples – for maximum profit making of developers, and maximum annoyance for the end user. Take Bunny farts for example. Rubbish app – but look how many of them there are!!! All by the same developer.

I think its fine professionally, just because theres more than one it prevents a monopoly, keeps apps working hard to be on top, etc

i remember when AIM/IM + supported push support and that was a HUGE deal.

In addition with a number like 100,000+ apps, how many do you think are demos too? its not like their making something up, but come on… with 100,000+ apps how many can be original?

I doubt given a week to think about it, i could name 1,000 different apps that Could pass and become part of the store *not counting homebrew stuff* and really a lot of these things get into the ehh… range

etc i can keep going but its all common sense
