Yeah, it seem the Apple Appstore works and is generating it’s own popularity as it goes. The most downloaded apps are purely entertaining and speak to the human part in us. There’s a beer drinking simulator, pocket Kosher guide, Vogue’s fashion week app etc. It’s best to acknowledge how easily people find their way to the Appstore and how difficult it is, let’s say, for the fashionistas to find the Bryant Park show calendar from the Download! service. If a new service or a new browser makes an easy impact, there probably is a need for it.

Download! Is an appstore? If it were only as organised and easily usable and found as the Apple Appstore you should have trillions of downloads by now, what with 60% of the market belonging to Smartphones and a majority of them being Symbian based. Yet there is no word of Download! but there is more talk off Apples Appstore and now Google Marketplace.
The guys at Nokia should really start to look at what they should have done with the Download! service 1 year ago, when most of the Symbian faithful were telling them what they wanted.
The Download service is nowhere near as easy to use or find as the Apple Appstore.
