My iPhone 4 home screen, originally uploaded by Robert Scoble.
Já alguma vez tivemos tantas aplicações instaladas nos nossos telefones?
O Sr. Robert Scoble, não é o melhor exemplo em termos de razoabilidade na questão da quantidade de aplicações instaladas, neste caso no seu iPhone.
Senão vejam:
1. Social
- Buzz (Web). Google Buzz, I love that social network.
- Twitter. The official Twitter app. I find I use this more than others. Originally Tweetie.
- Facebook. The official Facebook app.
- LinkedIn. The official LinkedIn app.
- Scobleizer. Did you know I have an app? Mobile Roadie created this for me and it’s great.
- Gist. Great for tracking your favorite contacts.
- HootSuiteLite. Aimed at corporate Twitterers. Still trying to fit this one into my usage.
- Summizer. A Twitter search app. I don’t use it much since those features are built into other apps.
- Twitterrific. I mostly got this for the iPad since most of the Twitter apps haven’t been ported to the iPad yet.
- Buzzie. An app for reading Google Buzz. I find I just usually use the Web page above, though.
- Seesmic. Lets you post to a bunch of different social networks. That’s why I keep using it.
- TweetDeck. I used to use this more before Tweetie, er, Twitter came out with an official app.
2. Utilities

- Layar, augmented reality app for finding stuff in strange places.

8. Shopping

Este artigo sobre que aplicações têm o Robert Scoble no home screen do seu iPhone 4 é apenas a desculpa para uma boa discussão sobre aplicações!
Em média quantas aplicações possuem instaladas e quantas usam a sério?
Sobre
Robert Scoble é um blogger americano de tecnologia e escritor. Ganhou visibilidade quando começou a trabalhar para a Microsoft, foi depois para a Fast Company, Rackspace e esteve até Junho de 2020 na Infinite Retina como Chief Strategy Officer.
De momento tenho 26 aplicaes instaladas e uso, em mdia, 4 por dia.
Prefiro manter as aplicaes a um mnimo prtico no iPhone e em termos de utilizao muito na base de editar fotografias e coloc-las online (flickr e, mais recentemente, posterous). Tirando isso, a ocasional leitura no Instapaper e o meu jogo do vcio: Orba.
Eh devo ter umas 100 apps instaladas. Gosto de experimentar tudo o que anda por ai de apps.
E uso 2 100% do tempo (ou perto) e umas 10 regularmente (todos os dias).
Falta dizer… que no em iPhone mas num Symbian
Neste momento no Android, tenho 43 aplicaes instaladas.
De utilizao diariamente entre 3 a 5, dependendo dos dias.
Mas normalmente algo do gnero:
Banca SAPO, pela manh.
NetCounter, pela manh para ver como esto os consumos dirios.
HootSuite Lite, para gerir a conta pessoal e a da empresa no Twitter.
Gowalla, se me lembrar e / ou Foursquare.
FxCamera, na viagem at ao emprego para ajudar a passar o tempo.
PicSay para editar uma ou outra foto no telemovel.
Wordpress, para gerir os comentrios nos blogs.
Claro est no dispenso o browser nem a aplicao para a leitura de e-mails.
