“It’s been just a month since the App Store hit the streets, and the number of applications has skyrocketed. That doesn’t mean they’re all winners though. The vast majority are downright useless, buggy, or simply overpriced,” Josh Lowensohn reports for Crave at CNET.
“Since our inaugural list of absurd iPhone apps was a big hit, we’ve picked another group of 10 that are even more absurd than the first ones,” Lowensohn reports.
Lowensohn’s list:
1. GottaGo ($1.99)
2. DrinkBuddy ($3.99)
3. Glasgow Coma Scale ($2.99)
4. HelpMe! ($.99)
5. Picocalc free (Free)
6. Touch Train (Free)
7. G-tac ($4.99)
8. Girlfriend Caller (Free)
9. National Threat Advisory (Free)
10. Pixelmetrist (2.99)
