Similar sentiment from me too. I have been prodding and swiping at my Nexus One for the past few weeks and it is true; the state of the app world is in a bit of a flux. Even Google’s own suite of apps for the Android remains inconsistent in its design; the lack of visual cohesion between applications developed by the same design house fails to inspire brand building.

But what is the point at this juncture? The ‘market’, ‘app store’ and ‘app catalogue’ of this world are either still too primitive or fragmented for any meaningful investment in cultivating an Adobe or SAP in the macro computing world. We will see homogenisation in the future; perhaps an app house will build up a suite of applications, bundle them, create them across all platforms, build a consistently recognisable interface, and become as indispensable as Photoshop, Word and Excel.

Wars between OSs will continue to rage, all it takes is a developer to cross the trenches and aim for a higher cause!

So, how is the X10???
