<h2>[next]</h2>
<ol>
<li>] the NEW list &gt;</li>
<ol>
<li>] limit each "app type" (aka category) to just the top (five ? three) choices in a category</li>
<li>] for example do we really need 10 different "news" apps, how about 10 different instant messaging clients?</li>
<li>] Chances are that you are only going to use or be using one of these.</li>
<li>] but what if the one that you use is not on the list of the "top 3" in that category</li>
<li>] the solution is to use the instant messaging category to get a more complete listing of the instant messaging clients available</li>
</ol>
<li>] ADD - APPS - AMAZON store</li>
<ol>
<li>] android apps available in amazon ( audible, candy crush, expedia, hulu, pinterest, netflix, ... )</li>

COMMENT re:Apps -&nbsp; http://forums.crackberry.com/general-blackberry-discussion-f2/app-myth-945547/ 
&gt; And what about apps that needs Google Play Services ( ) 
The internet isn't useful either then because most web pages are junk or not relevant to me. So I might as well disconnect my FIOS? The advantage of buying an android or iPhone/iPad today is that if I see an app next week that I like, I can just download it.
No need to go on a forum hunting for a third party reverse-engineered version.No need to write letters to the company begging for an iOS version. No need to rationalize my inability to have that app by convincing myself apps are useless or apps are for kids/girls/hipsters. I can just tap install. For most people, that is much easier.
