And yeah, I think they’re going to have to do something about this, before Brandon’s 30,000 apps hit 🙂

I didn’t realize that I hadn’t registered on this site.

I agree fully. Although Apple shouldn’t prevent anyone from developing a product, maybe they should step in.

The main reason that this is so obvious is that the applications are all hitting at once. There is a similar flood of comparable applications on windows mobile, just spread out.

That’s a heckuva plan 🙂

There’s 30,000 unique names listed at babyhold . com. However since they only list about 332 currently “popular” names I’m going to write one app for every one of those. Then depending on how big of a PITA it is I may just keep going on up to the 30,000.

Screw it. If Apple can’t figure this out then maybe its time someone tries taking it to the absolute extremes. Personally I have no problems with someone creating a quickdial application, heck I love the idea, but this is is getting rediculous. There’s a bunch of developers who have multiple quick dial applications. Some have only released four on up to this guy with his near 30 of them.

Again, I have no problem with someone developing a useful application, but if Apple is going to claim over 10,000 applications – maybe they should start looking at them and determining if they see a uselessness/repetition trend. Because I see a trend and its not looking so great. Heck the trend I’m starting to see is 50,000 applications by next year. 20,000 by all the other developers – 30,000 by me. One for every name in the baby book.

FIX IT APPLE. FIX IT NOW. Don’t stop people from writing 30,000 applications that all do the same thing. Fix the store so that we don’t see all 30,000 from a single developer. Let the developer submit and sell 30,000 apps… but organize the store in such a way that we don’t have to filter through them all. (Maybe a limit to the number of apps a developer shows for a given search term?) So if I search for “call” in the app store I’m presented a list of applications and maybe limit it to 5 from one company and a then a link to “more from this developer”?
