A detailed and interesting read regarding first year of App Store has been published by Lifehacker. The read also contain successes, failures, interesting apps released and the apps failed to gain the popularity of users.

Highlights are based on Mint.com, iPhone ever note Kindle (considered to be the most complete note app for iPhone users) and Wikipanion, the search program based on Wikipedia for the smartphone.

User friendliness of App Store is an undisputed quality, but there are some problems with App approval process. One of the major issues with App Store is the duplication of apps and some of them are totally useless.
