Lots of Sweet iPhone Candy
By Mark Evans | November 30, 2008
According to 148Apps, 10,000 applications have now been launched for the iPhone.
The ability to personalize the iPhone and extend its functionality is the iPhone’s “killer app”. I do wonder, however, how many of the applications that people happily download onto their iPhones are actually used on a regular basis.
I suspect most of the applications people install are akin to those little mints that restaurants give away: they’re free, sweet but only last a short period time if you actually eat them. From how I’ve used my iPod Touch over the past couple of months, there’s about 20 colorful looking applications sitting there but, to be honest, I only use one of them - Twitterific - on a regular basis.
Of course, there’s no cost involved because many of iPhone applications are free, which makes sampling penalty-free.
