Mashables iPhone Apps Reviews wrap-up

I avoid going to the iPhone App store for two reasons:

1) It is my "Facebook" when it comes to time sinks, and…

2) It costs me money. 

The “time wasting” is because the Apps store is so full that navigating it with any success is nearly impossible.  The spending money is due to poor impulse control and my need to find "The App for that".

Because there is too much choice, the App store is Broken, regardless of the complaints about Apple's heavy handed approval system, there is just too many Apps in the store, and too many of them are crap.  To top that, there is no real way to sort the crap from the useful, so what are we to do?  Well I like to look for independent reviews away from the ecosystem.

Mashable.com have compiled a great list of Apps in their "iPhone Apps List 2010: 700+ Apps Reviewed by Category" post.  Just to help us spend more money, but with less time wasting, well, one out of two ain't bad.

...If it ain't Broken, make a list.
