App Curtains Being Pulled Back.... Thanks CBS

I wonder just how many iPhone and Android useless apps are floating in the app stores, BB included.

Apple's App Store full of "zombies," says report - CBS News

There have to be tons in any app store! Of course!

My point was that finally a mainstream media outlet threw Apple into App reality and not just Blackberry. BB has been beat up for the past year over apps and to hear that Apple has a far majority of "Zombie' apps is great news. Eventually the app ecosystem will have to be better reported by all OS platforms.

I don't really think it's a surprise to anyone that a lot of the apps in the app store never get bought.

BlackBerry gets beat up for a totally different reason. And that is that they don't have the apps people expect.

"The number of zombies has increased in recent years, the repot says."
I am not sure who this 'repot' is but do we trust him/her?
