No doubt most iPhone owners have spent the last few days scouring the App Store. From Texas Hold’em to AOL Instant Messenger, native applications on iPhone a year from now will seem like something we’ve always had and can’t imagine ever being without.
There are a handful of terrific applications such as Pandora and Texas Hold’em which I have already found quite addictive. At the same time, it is also very clear that many apps are half-baked.
I wonder why more third-parties are not acting like the best of third-party vendors on the Mac. The ones that “act and feel” like something that could have come out of Cupertino. Comic Life immediately comes to mind. The iPhone SDK is so rich that it is very shocking to see apps like Cro-Mag shipping with a “Settings” menu that looks like it was drawn by a second grader. A second grader who could have built a better menu via the built in interface elements in Interface Builder.
