Has the long tail wagged in any market ? Or any place other than Chris Anderson's fictional mind ?

i am in the minority windows phone only holds 8% share hopefully that will increase as the os has huge potential

[Andeh13]

Android at 70% more likely to follow, whilst IOS are 27% more likely to lead?

Really!?

I was expecting to see good list of top 20 apps but was faced with celebrity-magazine-like stuff...is this Hexus or have I mistakenly went to wrong internets ?

[[GSV]Trig]

Sounds like a load of crap to me...

lol utter bollocks!

[IronWarrior]

They forgot to say that their isn't that many apps to choose from, it's crap.

well I guess what we can draw from this is something Apple should definetly use in marketing:

The iPhone - It is sleek and does just a few things.

You're all praising it wrong. It's magical

That too!!

I'm not surprised at all.

Most people will just look at the 'top apps'. People don't want to spend hours trawling through apps that are unlikely to even work properly on their device.

Finding apps on the device on Android is garbage. For all its sins, iTunes is a slick storefront.

im curious, does itunes marketplace come with free oral sex or like cookies? I haven never had issues finding a fun game or a useful app on android so i genuinely dont understand why people grumble about it.
