Just the other day, Microsoft announced that its Windows Phone 7 platform has got now more than 10,000 apps. Apple has already more than 400,000 apps while Android had over 200,000. Still, Google and Apple are not that much satisfied and they are trying to attract more app developers. Microsoft has to do it too.
I feel that it is really has become an obsession for Apple, Google and Microsoft to just boast the number of apps from time to time. If you are in iPhone user then how many of the 400,000 apps available to you would be ever used by you! The same can be said for Android users as a good deal of apps in Android market is free.
The obsession towards apps is hardly doing the consumers any good. Most of them do not bother which company has which number of apps. Instead, they want their smartphone or tablet experience becomes comfortable. Apple has received a lot of criticism for trying to get more money from the publishers as well as trying to slow down some apps.
