&lt;p&gt;Samsung SGH-i900 Omnia&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Touchscreen is the currently the most popular way of interacting with a phone. Using a physical keyboard seems so antiquated by this standard. The i900 Omnia has everything that the very popular iPhone includes feature-wise. At 127 grams this phone isn’t very heavy but is given a nice solid weight that lets you know that this is an important piece of technology. At 12.5mm thin, this is by no means an obtrusive phone.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Fun! Nearly half of all the iPhone App Store apps are games or entertainment</title>
 <link>http://www.thestandard.com/news/2008/07/16/fun-nearly-half-all-iphone-app-store-apps-are-games-or-entertainment</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As of last night there were 802 total applications available in Apple’s App Store for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Of those, 393 or a full 49 percent were classified in either the “Games” or “Entertainment” categories, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.medialets.com/blog/2008/07/15/app-store-pricing-by-category-score-card/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;according to data put together by Medialets&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While that may not seem like a big surprise, remember that the iPhone was not built to be a gaming machine. Yet those are the apps people are buying and those are the apps people are making. Having already tried out several of the games myself, I can tell you first hand — &lt;a href=&quot;http://venturebeat.com/2008/06/11/analyst-theres-a-great-future-in-iphone-apps/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;there’s a future in iPhone/iPod Touch games&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Some other interesting data as illustrated in the chart below shows that 22.7 percent of all apps are free, with another 23.8 percent costing just $0.99. Only 5.6 percent are selling over the $9.99 mark.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://venturebeat.com/2008/07/14/iphone-advertising-app-maker-medialets-publishes-early-app-store-metrics/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Medialets is focused on providing ads for applications running on the iPhone and gathering metrics&lt;/a&gt;. They also have a great breakdown of the top apps by several metrics including paid/non-paid, rating and price.
