Since the app store was released in 2008, it has exploded with thousands of applications now available to download to your mobile device. At the end of 2008, the number hit 10,000 – quite allot of applications for one small light, little operating system on a device. But is finding decent, worthwhile applications seeming more difficult to do? I believe Apple has let go of control of the app store, and let it run riot. The amount of actual worthy apps is actually very low and that allot are just complete and utter crap.
Seriously, I thought Apple would really crack out the belt, and whip anyone who sent a application without any real thought process. Now, I don’t want to offend Apple / iPhone dev’s with this post as there are some real excellent developers who spend allot of time with planning and developing applications. Some of the App’s are actually extremely well constructed and have put some serious thought and time into it. But some are just pathetically bad, and poorly constructed.
When will Apple regain control and actually go through the applications thoroughly, checking for small errors and mistakes and also making sure that the Application is of quality. What do you think about the current state of the app store?

Since the end of the June when apple released the iPhone & iPod Touch 2.0 firmware, the market for Apps has gone insane and the amount of apps that are now available for download is ridiculous. Although there are many great free apps, I haven’t really wanted to download them.
If i have more than one page of apps on my first generation iPhone, it becomes incredibly sluggish, and the user experience isn’t a good one. Therefore I’m not a fan of them – i have only 5 or 6 apps.
These are:
- Aim (AOL Instant Messenger)
- Last.Fm
- Twitterfon
- Brightkite
- Fring
Notice how they are all social network sites and communication tools? The iPhone to me is a phone and it will be nothing more. (Apart from a music player too).
I want to know: What do you use on your iPhone? What apps do you use on a regular basis, and what are your opinions!

Are very annoying. How boring is to wait for the iPhone’s amazing huge 250+mb firmware to download. Seriously, can they not make add on updates like 20mb? It’s a hefty bit of tube work for my internets handle, yeah sure I can download it, but then what? I have to wait 10 minutes for my iPhone to do something which could break it (Which It has done before) and yet I see no improvement what SO ever in the OS.
Yes, I know they’re bug fixes, but to me they just seem to pointless. Can you just not make a giant pack of bug fixes and then release it?
What’s your thoughts on device updates and how you apply them?
