The Guardian runs a piece of iPhone apps, sensibly pointing out that not everyone developing apps is a millionaire just yet.
That said, apps seems to be selling faster than songs did: "It took Apple more than two years to sell 1 billion songs on iTunes, so it's going to hit 1 billion apps about three times faster."
Lovely if frightening piece on the Register about the mobile as self-inflicted surveillance: "There are already two documented cases in Europe where not carrying a mobile phone was considered one of the grounds for arrest"
US mobile carriers want fewer OSs, film at 11, though why any carrier wants to get involved with supplying "a unified development environment" to provide cross-device consistency is beyond me. Developer support is probably the one thing operators have been worse at than being media companies (with a few exceptions I won't go into now, so everyone I know at operators thinks I'm talking about them).
Nokia have launched the Ovi store, though please god don't let them use "location sensing and social networks" to start recommending applications.
Android went priced, and about time too. We've had surprisingly high download figures for some simple Android apps - hmm, I need to write a piece about that....
