Apple leading apps via App Store with total of 170,000 apps

For now, the numbers are a resounding p0wnage. Apple currently has approximately 170,000 apps in it’s App Store, for considerable increase over last year.  Silicon Alley Insider has posted an interesting chart showing the number of apps available with Apple, Android, RIM and Palm. Apple currently has about 170,000 apps available, according to AppShopper.com.  AppShopper typically lists more apps than Apple publicly states it has because AppShopper updates its numbers on a daily basis. Counting today, AppShopper says Apple has approved Total Apps Approved: 200,055 apps with Total Available Apps: 172,793 to download at this time. But Apple officially states that it currently has only 150,000 apps.

The second closest is Google’s Android with about 30,000. But considering Android only had 4,900 with an increase of 25,100 in one year is important. Considering Apple has had the iPhone out since 2007, Android is getting many devices on Multiple carriers in 2010 alone, including the Nexus One on all four American carriers. I would expect to see Android numbers rise here in the next year to come close to 100,000, the way the devs are working overtime to code.

GrandMasterPixel: An Android App review

This isn’t so much a review as my attempt to get the word out about this little gem.  So, I found myself sitting in the man-cave, stoned and sucked into the Android Marketplace as I’m known to do, and on a whim I downloaded a game called GrandMasterPixel by OMGWTFGAMES!!1! (because of the awesome dev name).  The game’s description on the Marketplace is as follows;

Marvell Moby: 99 dollars of awesome

Marvell has recently started toting their new, low-cost mobile processors, and the most substantial showing of the chips would have to be the Moby.  The Moby is a stylish little prototype tablet featuring Marvell’s ARMada 600 series processor, and is said to come equipped with a Full 1080P HD display (1920×1080 pixels of awesome).  Click that dirty little link for more information, click it hard.

Neofonie WePad: Not just a funny name

TechTechies has posted an article detailing an interestingly powerful notepad, by a company who’s name is just as interestingly odd.  The Neofonie WePad, despite its silly ass name, boasts a large 11.6″ 1366×786 display, a 1.66 GHz Intel Atom N450 Pineview-M processor, and 16GB of NAND storage with the option of 32GB internal and  32GB SD for all of your porn multimedia needs.  Hit the link for more detailed information and a specifications comparison with Apple’s iPad.

T-Mobile’s HTC HD2 Video Walk-through

You just gotta love Wal-Mart employees. Not only do most not give a crap about providing customer service but they’ll sell you a not-yet released HTC HD2 if you know how to con talk them into the sale. YouTube user JDMiPhoner was able to convince the peeps over at the Vancouver, WA, Walmart to sell him the yet unreleased HD2 before the March 24th sale date. In return, he decided to make  a few videos of the new handset. Hit the link for videos.
