And counting?... so Philip Elmer-Dewitt knows how to count to 1001. Much impressive.

How ironic that as a long time computer user, I have no idea how to get to a blackberry app, and couldn't care less!

What roadkill!

It's only been two weeks since the new iPhone went on sale?
It seems like it's been two years. Time really drags when you are bored to death with a subject.

"Roughly 20% of the apps are free; 90% cost $10 or less."

So, 110% of the apps are less than $10? That's good. I always try to give 110% myself...

"covers some developer compliants such as Apple not acting quickly enough to approve"

Imagine: the company responsible for MobileMess screwing up it's iPhone app "certification" process.

Although the term "cost" wouldn't necessarily be used when it comes to something that is free, what the writer means is that 90% of the apps cost less than $10, which INCLUDES the free apps. Free IS less than $10.

So, the writer's calculations are not in error. His use of the word "cost" to apply to a free program is the error.

I love it when a username manages to demean Apple products at the same time.

You win the Subliminal Trolling Award for the month of July.

I remember when having more new customers than anticipated was a good thing.
