Apple's APP store according to IDC analysts is heading for a meltdown. This is according to their top 10 predictions. This is because the APP store has too much stock for any one person to navigate. From "Fart" games to applications that are just trivial.
The IDC predictions state "It will be a watershed year in the ascension of mobile devices as strategic platforms for commercial and enterprise developers as over 1 billion access the Internet, iPhone apps triple, Android apps quintuple, and Apple's "iPad" arrives."
Apples claim to receive at least 10,000 APP submissions per week. With an approximate 100 million apps downloaded each month from the app store. Boils down to the fact that whatever you may need or be interestd in there may be an app for that.
Every few months Apple brags about the number of iPhone apps accumulated in its App Store (most recently the count was 100,000), and most of the tech press has been hasty to deflate the hype.
How much of that really helps users or are they simply a waste of time for some. Even if you have all the time in world it's still not enough to work your way around through these myriads of apps.
But that may not be that important with it's large users base the APP store may have apps that suit your individual taste and that's what matters in the end. Every users want to have apps that are more personalized and with their humongous numbers there are enough apps to catch your fancy and interest.
