How about a card game that doesn't blow? I've bought the Apple poker game, hearts, and some others. I paid 3 bucks for a hearts game on Android and it was terrible. It looked like some 1996 Windows shareware game. Tiger Woods golf is fun, and so is Angry Birds. Or how about a navigation app for when you're out of service? The Android app store is just about useless.

The Android app store is just about useless.

This mindless Apple/iPhone fanboyism on HN is really getting old.

So you didn't find a friggin' hearts-game that you like and that makes the android store "useless"?

Everyone has their own priorities of course, but can we cut out the generalizations?

"This mindless Apple/iPhone fanboyism"

And that's not a generalization?

If can't find more than 1 or 2 quality apps, yes, the damn thing is useless. That's its "use". It provides maybe 2, so it's not "useless", but it is "just about useless".

No, that was specifically targeted at you and the sixpack of similar comments that has become the norm for every apple/android article.

It may be useless for you.

I have found all I need (SwiFTP, ConnectBot, MailDroid, to name just 3) and while they may not be as pretty as the iPhone equivalents... Oh wait, for two of them there is no iPhone equivalent.

See? Everyone has their priorities. And even though I'm not the least bit interested in the latest shiny iPhone games I wouldn't call the apple appstore "useless".
