Jean-Louis Gassée’s Monday Note:

What’s the use of offering more than 500,000 wares if customers can’t find their way through the gigantic bazaar?…the iPhone has sold in ever larger numbers (we’ll soon see if the December quarter number crossed the 30 million units line, and by how much) and with more than 18 billion downloads, the App Store is an unmitigated success. If this is what “broken” looks like, why fix it? And how?

Hard to argue the App Store is “broken” but the kind of additional curation Gassée argues for might be welcome to many.
