Written by It’s the season for releasing big name apps into the WP marketplace! Here they come!!!
Cause to be honest I’m sick and tired of hearing about how WP is low on apps. App count seems to be the only BIG thing left for people to use while dismissing WP.
Now, can we get Words with Friends, Angry Birds Space, Chase, Wells Fargo, Instagram, Pandora, and whatever few apps it will take to shut critics up??
Then again, even if WP had 500,000 apps this time next year, and iOS, and Android both had 700,000 they would still have something to complain about. Whatever! I cant wait till BB10 comes around. That should relieve some pressure off of WP because BB10 will be the new low app OS for all the haters to pick on. LOL!
The best thing for MS to do is partner up with others and start pushing these HTML 5 apps in a BIG way, so we can finally come out of this app war, and the consumers can learn to buy phones based on functionality not app count.
Nevertheless, I’m glad to see the AboutOne app in the marketplace. The marketplace is getting richer everyday!
