[…] The only place I’d disagree with Scoble is that the number of apps available has risen above 85,000 now. It was over 92,000 as of yesterday. […]

In reply to Diego Petrucci. Agreed - just pointing out that it is there, they have made a start on that piece.

It is making it harder to find the good apps because there are som many bad ones. People scream about censorship but they want all the "bad" apps filtered out as well. There needs to be a way to filter through the chaff while allowing a broad range of app submissions.

In reply to patrickj. Yeah but.. you said, it's not impressive. It's semi-hidden (i know it exists of it because i read iphone blogs, not because i found it) and it sucks. It's should be more visible and enhanced. A lot.

In reply to Diego Petrucci. Don't we have that now? Admittedly, not very impressive so far - but there is a Genius tab on the Featured tab of the App Store.

Wow that is a lot of apps!!! I agree Patrick there has to be a better way for apps to get noticed. It is hard task but it has to get done. Apple needs to separate the app store from the i-Tunes store. Apple treats both of them the same way which is where the problem is….. You can' treat music & app development in the same fashion. I wish Apple would understand this… I just hope they do have some smart people working on a solution somewhere in a locked room….

As said by someone before, the genius feature applied to the apps would solve many problems. It would'n fix them all, but it'd be a -really- good start
