Android Market hits 100,000 apps submitted

but of the 82,000 apps available how many are actually of any real use?

General usage percentage is probably pretty similar between all major mobile application stores, be it apple's, google's or nokia's.

Realistically, most of the apps are junk. If you were to go through every app in the store, selecting only the best versions of each app function, you would probably only have about 1000 apps left...and most of those would be games.

Same applies to the iStore...higher numbers of apps just means more worthless apps to sift through.

Yeah, I've never really cared about the NUMBER of apps... but what can those apps do.
Frankly, many of the iPhone apps are nothing more than portals to websites and such.
Eventually, these businesses will realize that the android market is as big or bigger and those apps will show up in that market as well.

Agreed, too many versions of apps of the same app, but I do like the fact that they have NES/SNES emulators though. It's nostalgia all over again, providing of course that it's not a pain in the ass to play a game through a touch phone.
