have an order of magnitude less number of apps

Past a certain point, that stops mattering. Does iPhone have 1 million apps available, or is it 10 million ? I don't know and I don't care. what I do know is (assuming that I had an iPhone not android)

- 90% of them are crap. Sturgeon's law.

- I would install fewer than 100 of them.

- There's probably an app for it. For any it. e.g. Today I found and installed an app for my local airport, so I can keep track of an upcoming flight.

- There are several good twitter clients, but I'll only install one.

- Between maps, twitter, facebook, calendar, email and angry birds, there's 95% of my app usage accounted for.

And you could say roughly the same for WP7, even if there's only 10 000 apps avaialble.
