Apple saw the research which shows that the Android Market will soon have more apps than the iTunes store. Their marketing strategy is currently based on claiming that they have more applications, and since they're losing that battle they want to switch to claiming that iOS applications are higher quality.
Spin on, spin doctor. Crapplications are a feature of the 'droid store, right?
Apple's termination of the growing business behind inducing downloads of other apps has caused analysts at Xyologic to warn that "it may make Apple?s platform possibly less attractive vis-a-vis Google Android if developers can?t find a suitable alternative to offer walls."
They say that like it's a bad thing. Come on, guys, get a clue. Lesson #1: the company that dedicated itself to the making a superior user experience is now eating everyone's lunch. What part of that don't you understand?

I wouldn't be surprised. I saw a report a couple of days ago that the Android Market will have more applications in 5 months than the Appstore. I don't know if it will actually happen in 5 months, but it's just a matter of time. This perennial shifting of goal posts is something Apple is getting used to.
Having said that, it didn't make any difference Apple has more apps now and it's not going to make any difference when Android has more apps. Most apps in both markets are sub par and anything done to get rid of scams in either store is good. Both stores have their share of quality apps.
Thank goodness, thank you very much for doing this Apple. We really don't care how many apps there are if they are all junk, we care to have nice apps that do what we want and thats all.
I hate what in app purchases has done to my relationship. My girlfriend gives me basic play for free but charges for extras.
Why? Just try her for a while. If you don't like her don't buy the extra.
In-app purchase is great. It let you try the game for free. My wife just use in-app purchase last week for the first time. She downloaded a game called Parking Lot! which let you play the first 50 levels, or something like that, for free and she's hooked so she paid a buck to unlock all other levels. This is better than charging a buck upfront IMO.

But she's asking me to buy her Mighty Eagle and it’s getting hard to say no. I’ve barely been able to complete any of her levels. I just wish there was an option for novice that would make it easier to get three stars.

You can think of it that way too. Numbers go only so far. Apple has milked the "We have the most apps" card for all it's worth. That's not going to be the case anymore, so now it's time to emphasize a new selling point for the App Store.

You can look for some hints on the Internet like most people
And it's not the size of your Eagle, it's how you use it!
Let's not forget that Android developers have to develop for the lowest denominator if they want the whole Android market. Meaning not taking advantage of new Android features or hardware features and only coding to suit the oldest Android handsets out there.

Maybe you should have gone for the full version. That way everything comes unlocked. Maybe you can upgrade now that you've tried her for a while?
I tire too often of the playing the same ol' game to do that.

Hope she isn't on this forum or it'll be Game Over and banned for life for you!
It'll be a cold day in hell before I use Apple's 'App Store' to purchase anything...
Apples App Stores make life far easier for me. It is an all around good program.

That would be a violation of the agreed Privacy Policy.

At least most people do.

You can't argue with $2 billion, simple as that.

And it's not the size of your Eagle, it's how you use it!

Size DOES matter (according to my wife)

Not quite satisfied, is she?
