For September, Book-Related Apps Overtook Games On iPhone
ruphus13 writes "In a sign that ebooks are rising in popularity, a recent survey by mobile analytics company Flurry revealed that users may be using the iPhone for more intellectual pursuits, and not just the visual sizzle. The 'book-related' apps on the iPhone overtook games in terms of new apps released. According to the post, 'Book-related apps saw an upsurge in launches in September ... So much so that book-related applications overtook games in the App Store as a percentage of all released apps. The trend isn't an aberration. In October, one out of every five new applications launching on the iPhone was a book ... from August 2008 to the same month in 2009, more apps were released in the 'games' category than any other and, as a result, the iPhone (and iPod touch) became a new handheld gaming platform, one that impacted the Nintendo DS.

You managed to speak nothing about tfa (beside your wild ass speculation that somehow all the 16 year olds with an iphone are "well-educated", ha), throw in a little fanboism attacking other phones and those that don't like the iphone, then you pretend to like linux. And you got modded up because of all of that, and nothing of value was added to the discussion! Awesome job everyone involved!
