App Count:

BB - 10,000
Android - 100,000
iOS - 200,000

BB has apps, but not as much. I think this is what people are referring to.

And yet, even with just 10,000 apps I have pretty much everything I could ever need covered.

# of apps means nothing. You might as well count the number of clouds in the sky and claim that if there are more, then it''s better.

more selection can be a good thing....

then again, I hate having to sift through 30+ junk apps to find the one I'm looking for.

In the end, its what you prefer. This doesn't need to turn into another BB vs Android nerd rant.

But the fart apps in the iOS universe are sooooo much better than android or BB's.

I agree, all the platforms have pretty decent app support now. I have resisted dl'ing the talking tom cat app, just because I'm pretty sure Olds would beat me up if I did. :D

I agree that app count doesn't mean anything and I hate to say it but app quality is like night and day between the platforms as well.

Root Explorer, Rom Manager, Blackhat Team Rom Manager, the airplane game full, the cow game full, launcher pro.

I think that's it.
