Finding Good Mobile Applications

I have a love/hate relationship with the iTunes App store and the Android market.  Generally lately, it's more hate than love.  Why?  Well, the iTunes app store has WAY too many apps, most of them of no use to me, and it's really hard to find decent apps.  I'm sure many apps I would use a lot are buried somewhere in that store, never to see the light of day.

The android market has some issues of its own.  Number one, you can only view the large majority of the store on the device itself(though you can view a small portion of it online).  The G1's screen is certainly large enough for that, but I wish I could open up the store in my browser and look through the apps.  It would just be easier on the eyes, and it'd be a quicker look. 

I found this article on Gizmodo today(Link opens in a new window or tab).  Chorus for iPhone Puts a Better App Store Inside the App Store.  So it looks like developers are aware of the problem and are working on way around it.

Is this process just as horrible on Blackberry and Windows Mobile?  Is it worse?

Well, I got the MacBook yesterday. So far, I'm loving it. I had a dual head setup for awhile, and it was so easy to set up, I couldn't believe it. Not running the dual head right now, because I moved the computer and don't feel like moving and setting up the old monitor. It's too heavy. Still figuring stuff out, but I was able to get the Android emulator running with no issue. Screenshot below. I actually had to cut it a bit, because the right hand screen is taller than the main screen, so it looked like a big grey bar underneath the dock.
