I like the design of the 02 ad. But the ad for the U.S. is a piece of carp -- a blocky, text-filled mess, very unlike Apple. It looks like they hired a Microsoft ad firm.
Got a tip for us?

Who cares if there are duplicates, all those 18,000 Windows Mobile applications also have duplicates, same with the Blackberry, some people just love to argue for arguing sake.
Yeah, I guess your right. Apple usually has ads that only have a couple of words in each sentence, and sometimes, only one word in each sentence.
Yes, it's a good bet that many downloads are only temporary.
Their stats would be a lot more meaningful if Apple not only said how many had been downloaded, but also how many were thereafter deleted.
It's no different than their counts of SDK downloads. Over a quarter million, the last I checked. Sure, 250,000 developers working on apps. Not. Tell us instead how many have registered and paid the fee.
Ditto for "sales", which to them means it was shipped from the factory or used as a replacement, not actually sold to an end consumer.
its goona be a pain to browse a library as extensive as that. I hope theyve weeded out the crummy ones.
Nyah, I don't think WM has 5 or 6 bowling apps, or a fake beer drinking screen
The App Store has a huge number of duplicates in each genre. Nice to have a choice, but developers are complaining that the iPhone can't provide a living, because of all the free or super cheap apps.
Gizmodo had an article summing up their feelings on the topic:
iPhone Top Ten List full of ...
App limit?
I just learned something the other day and not sure if this is well known...
On the iPhone/Touch you are limited to 9 "pages" or screens of apps. That is all that can be loaded on the phone at one time. Free or paid, no difference. You can have more apps in iTunes and you don't lose any apps you download, just limited in the number you can have on your device.
I wasn't aware of this until a friend of mine, a true gadget hound, was wondering why some of his apps weren't showing up. It took him and myself hours of research and it was only when he called Apple did this little secret (at least not very well documented feature) we revealed to us.
