>Number of apps in the app store is meaningless. How many fart apps do you need? Most people don't use most of what they have. I don't have a need for my phone that isn't provided as part of the OS or through an app.

You should stop mentioning fart apps. Perhaps those that are unaware of what is an iPhone will find it funny. But for those that use an iPhone you just prove your ignorance of what is in the AppStore. Then again perhaps there should be more fart apps available for the Windows Phone. This way MS could do marketing saying there lots of apps available for the Windows Phone ;-)

I'm beginning to believe that the iTunes argument is just a lame excuse. You prefer to say that than to say "Even if MS released a brick and called it a phone I'd buy it"
