Yeah, because all third party apps are just frontends for web services.
No.
You're missing out. It would suck to be you.
Dude, that's such a lame response. If you were/are a dancer and you met someone that didn't dance… would you say "Oh, it must suck to be you because you don't like to dance." … that's such a crappy attitude to have. He's not missing out because he chooses not to do something.
I don't drink but a lot of people around me do… am I missing out?
Seriously...
I have to say I'm pretty happy about being me, so no suckage yet.
bmstrong: I think you're very cool for being yourself and doing what makes you happy. That's awesome. I too only use 1 or 2 third party apps MAX. So many of the apps require a web connection anyway, so why not just use the web app and keep your iPhone free from the cluttered pages upon pages of icons on your screen.
That's another thing I wanted to mention. I hate having more than 2 pages of apps. The most I'll tolerate is 1.5 pages of apps (including Apple's apps). Web apps are neatly hidden in Safari's bookmarks menu and not cluttered all over your beautiful home screen. Still with me?
When the feature for saving webapps to your home screen first came out, I went crazy filling up as many home screens as possible to get all of my favorite websites on my home screen. This just made my iPhone look uglier. I didn't wanna see a ton of icons on my home screen when I can open up Safari and tap a bookmark just as easily. That's like having all of your Safari bookmarks displayed on your desktop… who would want that?
Anyways… I think that if you don't need to use the apps, then don't use the apps… it's totally up to the iPhone owner to do what they want. Just because the app store is there, doesn't mean you HAVE to use it.
By the way, you can turn off the App Store and iTunes Store in Settings>General>Restrictions If you don't use it, might as well hide it to clean up some visual space on your home screen.
Cheers mate!
