Most of the APIs are so locked down and you arent allowed to improve on duplicate functionality in most cases. And now look at the top of the line apps on WM like PIMs. Pocket Informant is finally getting there this week(with way less initial functionality than its big brother on WM) and only has really like 1 competitor( that isnt really even close) compared to like 5-7 good contenders that all do more on WM. Or stuff that updates the today or launcher screens, oh forget it, you arent allowed to do that... or .... Yeah, its not the same, iPhone is getting some good game love, but they should not be bragging about this inflated to 25K number verses some made up 20K number(there are probably over 20K different enterprise WM applications alone out in the business world).

Go ahead an cut in half the amount of actual iPhone Apps. You cant have trials so all the lite free versions should not count in that number but do. Now take away all the apps that are the same app such as DaysTo (40 versions) and CallX (just an icon you assign a number to) and the games that sell at different prices to give you different Points/starting money for poker or Mob respect or...... Now really if you want you can count the hundreds of apps that allow you to push a button to make a noise(s) but most of us dont really consider those real apps either(I could literally make 5K of them in less than a week). Im sorry, but the level of crapware is WAY bigger on iPhone! WAY WAY WAY!! or those other bloggers wouldnt be mentioning it. About the software..
