It is "lacking in apps" because the iphone has more apps, plain an simple. There is nothing that can be done to change this. App count is the CPU score for phones. Users buy iphones because of it and developers make apps for it because of that, cyclic hell. What I don't get is why no manufacture has tried to avoid this arms race. There are a half dozen different ways you could go about this, but _change the discussion_ so it isn't about the total number of items in an app store. Even Blackberry's AppWorld has a lot of apps these days (or in Blackberrry management speak tonnage), so is BlackBerry lacking in apps greatly exaggerated?
