    In a post about iPhone apps sales hitting $30 million a month, today's featured commenter Shadowlayer gives a stark prediction:

    It will be a fad, why? because Jobs has a very narrow mind regarding software, and that means we won't see the kind of cool stuff that PalmOS used to get in the late '90s/early '00s.

    The iPhone-as-modem app just got canned, and that was way more useful that most of the crap on the store. Ask any gamer and he'll tell you that using non-physical buttons (like in some DS games) is a nightmare.

    After the peak hype, only 10-20 percent of the user base will be buying (instead of just getting the free ones) apps in the store.
