The best functioning, most versitile and best looking app will survive. And obviously there will be a market for non-exclusive OEM/Carrier apps, so there's that. Anything that can add to the perceived value in usefulness and efficiency will tip the scales as well.
In my case, I prefer..
- Pick It (formerly Red Renter) over the official Redbox app b/c it functions better, looks better and has DVD reviews linked.
- Refocus over ReFocus b/c, well it's not available for non-Nokia phones
- Simple Calendar over Calendar b/c of of additional functioning capabilities
- Indigo over Tell Me b/c of better functioning and accuracy
So perhaps adding some unique additional functioning capabilities might tip the scales for
GeoPhoto. I'm not too familiar with the app but perhaps an added social function would make it shine, like say sharing with 'Trip Advisor' website or somesuch. Maybe adding a capability to play a music file while going thru the photos. Lots of possibilities to expand I'd think. Be innovative and know your target audience. Go get'em.
