Just a note. After a critical mass (which is not THAT much) of software, it doesn't matter how many apps you have. Really. It's the killer apps that count. It's not the zillion shareware useless trinkets that won the war for windows, either, but apps (bundles) like MS Office, Photoshop, etc. Ditto for iPhone. Only the marketing division and fanboys care if it's a 1000 or 100.000 apps if the killer apps are there.
