According to Apple, on Saturday, August 23, the following apps represent the Top 10: <ol> <li> <a href="http://www.apple.com/webapps/games/isudoku_iphonegames4u.html"> iSudoku </a> Description: "The classic game of Sudoku now optimised for the iPhone and iPod Touch." Category: Games </li> <li> <a href="http://www.apple.com/webapps/games/theamazingmindreader.html"> The Amazing Mind Reader </a> Description: "Your phone can read your mind!! Be amazed, really." Category: Games </li> <li> <a href="http://www.apple.com/webapps/travel/tripapplecomtravelasimpleway.html"> TripApple.com - Travel A Simple Way </a> Description: "TripApple.com provides you with the cheapest hotel deals on the internet." Category: Travel </li> <li> <a href="http://www.apple.com/webapps/entertainment/jedistarname.html"> Jedi Star Name </a> Description: "Jedi name generator." Category: Entertainment </li> <li> <a href="http://www.apple.com/webapps/games/boringdayattheoffice.html"> Boring Day at the Office </a> Description: "Can you make it to 5 o’clock?" Category: Games </li> <li> <a href="http://www.apple.com/webapps/games/kingdomgame.html"> KingdomGame </a> Description: "A browser based game, pitting you against thousands of other players, online in a real time ongoing strategy game." Category: Games </li> <li> <a href="http://www.apple.com/webapps/games/3dcube.html"> 3D Cube </a> Description: "Animated Multi-Textured Rotating & Scaling CSS 3D Cube." Category: Games </li> <li> <a href="http://www.apple.com/webapps/utilities/packagetrackr.html"> PackageTrackr </a> Description: "Track your UPS, USPS, FedEx/FedEx SmartPost, DHL/Airborne, DHL Global Mail, TNT, UK City Link and Aramex package with Google Maps" Category: Utilities </li> <li> <a href="http://www.apple.com/webapps/entertainment/reader.html"> Reader </a> Description: "Your iPhone is now the most advanced full featured portable online/offline eBook reader. Now including a free public library." Category: Entertainment </li> <li> <a href="http://www.apple.com/webapps/games/ipuzzletheslidingpuzzlegame.html"> iPuzzle - The Sliding Puzzle Game </a> Description: "A superb sliding puzzle game designed for the iPhone." Category: Games</li> </ol> Given that the vast majority of these applications are for gaming/entertainment, this list makes it quite clear - the iPhone is still thus far primarily a consumer phone, despite the fact that some believed it would pose a significant competitive threat to RIM's Blackberry, which is the smartphone of choice for corporations. Of course, there's nothing wrong with this and the implication for <a href="http://developer.apple.com/webapps/">developers </a>betting on the potential of iPhone Apps is that consumer-oriented apps, such as games, probably present the greatest opportunity at this time. Will that ever change? In my opinion, the iPhone's enterprise features still lag behind those of RIM/Blackberry in terms of giving IT departments the type of power and flexibility they've become accustomed to, and <a href="http://www.informationweek.com/news/personal_tech/iphone/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=210102100">the issues</a> with iPhone reception probably mean that the iPhone will remain a consumer "device" for the time being.
