Mobile Apps: Quality, Quantity or Just Plain Quirky?
October 25, 2009 by Nikki Brown
Just thought I would share with you a cute commercial for Microsoft’s new Marketplace for Mobile. Though poking fun at themselves, this also appears to be a (good-natured?) swipe at the iphone Mobile App Store
The iphone App Store claims, “Your iphone gets better with every new app.” Is that really true?
If you need proof that there really are some completely useless iphone apps out there, just take a look at this site or this one or even this…well, you get the picture. Don’t get me wrong. I am just as much in awe of the iphone as anyone else but with over 75,000 apps available, there have to be a couple of duds right?
Microsoft is barely out of the gate with it’s Marketplace for Mobile and only time will tell if they will really be able to keep up the quality control. Personally, I’m not sure this commercial gives me a lot of confidence. 
Best wishes Microsoft!
