Then when the market was full of iphones, the store opened. Naturally the download frenzy was much more heated. Do you have stats for the amount of meaningless fart and lighter apps people downloaded? Palm is aiming for less dross. Still Palm must get to market quickly as there is no time to waste. The market now has Apple and Android markets to compare with - so that point is well taken. Ovi store from Nokia is amazingly underwhelming for a large confident corporation. I hear that the Brew and GetJar stores are the two non-Apple stores that have done the best for mobile apps. I think Palm has a real chance to make it. From what I've seen of the webOS book and hints about the SDK, it seems a breeze for savvy web developers to use. Not Oranges to Oranges comparison. iPhone users had no apps for a v long time.
