Ken Yarmosh, our Director of Product Strategy, posted some thoughts on his blog about what Apple can do to improve the App Store in 2010. He focused on app wish lists, sharing, recommendations, tracking bargains and sales, and better app organization:
Now, if the prediction of 300,000 iPhone apps by the end of 2010 is true, the problem of discovery and app management is only going to be exacerbated. That’s going to make users and developers frustrated, with Apple working around the clock to try to please both parties.
