“That’s not a lot of time to build a complicated app,” Mr. Velez added. “The top 100 apps should’ve been a higher priority. That might have been a little bit of a miss, but I don’t know if anyone could’ve done much better.”
Don’t worry, Mr Velez, I could tell you of one company that can, does and did it a lot lot better. There were 3,500 iPad apps in the App Store on April 8th, just a week after the iPad’s launch.
