Shouldn't be too hard, if you count the webapps. Just like the "tens of
thousands" of apps available for Palm, WinMo and Symbian, 95% will be
amateurish, bug-ridden, or of "Hello World" caliber (many all of the
above!), but the other five percent might be pretty darn useful.

My Treo often had bug-ridden bad apps.
Which is why I was happy that Apple was controlling apps for the iPhone.
I want stuff that works. I don't want to spend my time troubleshooting.

Then buy apps from trusted vendors or based on good reviews. This is yet
another case of "Apple knows best." I don't need (or want) my carrier or
phone vendor to hold my hand.

Sheesh! Why didn't Apple just sell this thing in a big black and yellow
box labeled "Smartphone for Dummies?"
