As an iPhone owner I'll say "quality not quantity" matters in an app store... Yeah the app store has 50,000 apps... but how many of them are fart noise apps? Then of course 50,000 is inflated anyway. Most apps have a "free/lite" and a "full" version (thanks to Apple deciding not to support trial downloads). I'd bet at least 10,000 apps are these "lite" versions.
Out of the 50,000 apps Apple has, I've only found about 10 that are useful to me. There are probably more, but when I'm searching and I have to dig through fart noise apps, and "are you a moron?" apps, it's hard to find the ones that are useful to me... Like I said, quality, not quantity. If there are 100 of those 600 apps that are useful to me, that's far better than 50,000 and only 10 that are useful to me.
