A lot, but not as much as Android Market or that other company's app thing. There are certainly enough apps in App World to keep me happy for a while though.

Your best bet is to browse app world from the website, see if there are things that suit you. Or well, get a playbook and mess around and return if necessary... or borrow one.

Why is it so hard for someone to write an email program? or a Netflix player? These would meet real needs. Is it really that hard?

Just PIM email is a bit more complicated and well, I guess since its taken them like 6 months or whatever to get it to work... yes its hard.
As far as netflix... I don't anyone can just make a netflix player due to licensing restrictions I assume.

Well either way, I found quite a lot of apps to download. Love my Playbook. I've been attached to it since I've got it.

Anyone have a count of those darn ebooks?
Is there an easy way to browse the appworld offerings specifically for the pb on a computer as opposed to on the pb.

Whatever the number is, less then a handfull would ever appeal to me. I don't need no stinkin' apps.

I logged in to the web site (using my browser, not my PlayBook), selected my PlayBook as the device (instead of my phone), and looked at the full list of Apps, and Games. I set results-per-page to 100, then jumped forwarded in the list to page N, where the last results were displayed, and took the total from that. I then checked the list of apps from that vendor-that-cannot-be-named with the crap ebooks (I think it included the crap bulk e-puzzles too, but who really cares?) and subtracted it from the total.
It's not exact, especially since the number increases daily, but it's closer than the completely broken idea of just searching for the the word "playbook" in the listings, which misses hundreds or thousands.

Reason: clarify this is using the PC browser, not the PB

I believe the total for the darn ebooks was 489 but my short-term memory for such things is questionable... I've got an excellent "garbage collection" routine in my brain. ;-)

12,356 of which 11,689 are ebooks 
yes, the app world lacks so many useful apps. skype, decent reader, decent office suites, no email apps (given the lack of the native email, this alone is unforgivable) and so on and so forth.
