Let's not forget the following. For example, Nokia included in its smartphone/mobile a feature called VoiceHD. Here in the UK is for example supported by 3 Networks and others. Well, since I got an e72 and afterwards the N8 I could call and communicate with HD voice. This feature (similar one) had been only recently introduced by Apple, on iPhone5. So, Nokia had used this feature for years and Apple only now. Think about it, first of all you buy a phone because it is a phone and something like VoiceHD is not included in such a high end Apple product? And they call Apple an innovator? WIth Android you have tons of apps, fine. But hey there are tons of apps for Windows Phones as well. I think getting a Nokia is also a great choice. Offline navigational maps (worldwide) and many other exclusive apps, IP of Nokia.
So I'm definitely not concerned about the WP8 app count, and we can keep counting as the number is increasing steadily. I can tell you I have more than all the apps I need. Most of the times, instead of having a choice of 10 I have 2 or 3. And usually are the best ones, so I don't bother. Many times you can also get around the non having an app.
Again, there are sooo many apps! I'm not concerned at all. What I'm concerned is how monopolistic has google become against microsoft! Bad moves that show the real face of Google.
