"""case 2: apps with no data from real user. He opens up foursquare/yelp to look for a restaurant... has to create profile"""

And that somehow makes it totally useless?

He can: talk on the phone, check his email on the web browser, surf to anything he likes, use any other app that doesn't require a profile, play a game, ..., ..., ...

Even calling case 1 "totally useless" is retarded. He can still do tons of stuff (call, browse, use as calculator, ...) except run apps.
