ohhhh my!!

here come the fanboys to cry and complain about elmerD for writing yet another fact based article about apple.

i mean really, why stop being a ‘technical reject’ just because you continue to read articles posted by a writer and then cry like you just lost your pacifier.

my advice…QUIT READING IF YOU DON’T LIKE WHAT IT SAYS!!

(or at least quit showing how pathetically stupid of a lemming you are by complaining each and every time after you do read these articles!)

As a good contrast, the day the Treo was released, thousands of excellent applications were immediately available, and many were internet enabled. I have apps on that long in the tooth platform that iPhone users can only drool over. (That is, any of them that actually want to use the internet.)

iPhone will be left in the dust in '09 with the release of excellent devices that will run Linux. The development model will produce much higher quality, more useful and many more apps than the boring iPhone will ever see.

Get ready to watch the fast irrelevance of the iPhone thanks to Steve Jobs' freaky control problem.

all people cry, but i hope apple will not autorize all those 100000 people otherway to find a good application for iphone you'll need to search trought a big ammount of crap one.

lets be realistic, how many good valid applications can you count for apple computers, let say 5000/6000 maybe more but i wouldn't be surprise if much less

Do you really want 100.000 application for iphone?

BTW this article really sucks

What you don't see in the news is that they also canceled off their Consulting Advisor program, Affiliate program, among the 8 letters I've got in the last 14 months.

For those interested in working with Apple, I'd suggest calling those folks at Redmond. After we got our letter, a rep from Microsoft called and offered to send us a PocketPC smartphone and all development apps and materials at NO CHARGE! It would appear those up north knew what happened and went through their database and made a few emails and calls.

SMART, Very Smart on their part. Especially with the 2009 outlook that PocketPC or whatever it will be called by then will be running on more than just every cell phone built outside of Apple control but also Micro-Notebooks and CarPC's.

Smart…. Our package is expected in 2 weeks.

How the hell would she know? She only follows 16 people on Twitter – not exactly a representative sample large enough to write what the "twitterati" think/feel.

— Who believes every app designed should be published? Is there usefulness to this?

—How frustrating to a user would it be to purchase apps that are hype, and don't do what they say they're going to do?

— Is it to the users interest that app products are quality products?

— Is it reasonable that developers are vetted?

— Are their developers that are malicious? Do I have to answer that?

Look as an analogy at a book publisher; should they publish every manuscript submitted to them? How would their brand suffer by publishing so much garbage that the consumer quits buying their product simply because of the sheer volume of pointless, badly written books?

There is sound business reason for a publisher of anything to properly vet their submitted work, to provide at least a small modicum of insurance that the consumer is protected and to build their brand appropriately. I would suggest Fortune needs to consider this principle a bit more carefully too.
