Nov 04, 2009

Summary

In this political season, why not talk about the roughest political argument of them all: the real meaning of Apple's announcement of over 100,000 apps in the app store. Are these apps important because, as Steve Ballmer says, the iPhone doesn't handle the Internet well? Are these apps a testament to a strong ecosystem? Or are these apps a testament to Apple's marketing might and the perception that you just might make your millions by selling flashlight app for the Touch.

The announcement, which basically says that there are over 100,000 applications available for the iPhone and iPod Touch with some of the true winners - Smule's I Am T-Pain, for example - getting 10,000 or more downloads a day.
