4,000 Apps Being Developed for iPhone

Just seems like it's overwhelming, that's all. Quantity doesn't always equate to quality.

Yeah like i said, might be a little hard to find a good app on what you want.

also some of these apps, people might not have taken time on to make. id rather have less, and better apps than more, and messier apps if you know what im saying.

But how would you judge which should be out there or which shouldn't? Then people would accuse them of censoring.

But quantity DOES equal quality...hang in with me here:

The way I see it, the more apps, the more BETTER apps...if you adhere to Pareto's Principle, then you know that 20% of the apps will be decent apps...I'd much rather have 20% of 4000 then 20% of 400.

By the way, if screenshots hold true, the top 50 apps will be it's own category in the app store, so you don't have to worry about wading through 4,000 apps to find the good ones...if that's not good enough for you, I'm certain the internet will be filled with "Top 10", "Top 20", even "Top 100 Must Have Apps" articles for your perusal!

(the same goes for most of the posts in here...only 20% - arguably less - are useful...most are driven by the contest)

Cool, thanks

Holy crap, downloaded iTunes and already pulled down a bunch of apps...the App Store will make the iPhone sell out everywhere! It rocks - just unbelievable.

So much for 4,000 apps, there are about 530 or so...but I have a feeling this is just the beginning - that 4,000 by year end wouldn't surprise me.

I am sold.

Yeah if there are already over 500 on the day that it is realeased, 4,000 should be a breeze. Can't wait to see what other cool ideas people have!
