Carving up the Mobile App Turkeys of 2010

Tools

P.T. Barnum would have loved the App Store. With more than 300,000 iOS applications and seemingly no quality controls beyond what offends Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) CEO Steve Jobs' sensibilities, the storefront is chock-a-block with bargain-basement applications that aren't worth the code they're written on--and yet iPhone, iPod touch and iPad owners continue to download them anyway, proving time and again Barnum's famous declaration "There's a sucker born every minute."

With the annual Thanksgiving holiday coming next week, what better time to sacrifice some of these turkeys? Consider this the diametric opposite of FierceMobileContent's annual Top Mobile Applications awards--instead of celebrating the best of the best, it's now time to chew up and spit out the worst of the worst, applications so ill-conceived and so patently stupid that their very existence boggles the mind. So here they are: The Mobile App Turkeys of 2010. Dig in. --Jason
