Since Apple controls distribution of apps, it seems like there are tons of apps that have limited use for most people. For example, I saw one app that's sole purpose was to show stats for a local high school basketball team. That counts as an "app".

Also, it seems that since iPhones/iPod Touches have limited resolution to display the web and not a full desktop version of a browser, every website that wants attention from iPhone/iPod Touch users needs to be an app. That's a bunch of apps that could just be a good browser on a good resolution device.
