Fickle iPhone users tiring of apps.
So much for productivity tools on the move, and yes, I know Euan is the exception, but is anyone else?

Fickle iPhone users tiring of apps.
More than 500 million applications for the Apple iPhone have been downloaded from the California company's online App Store, but a new study indicates that users quickly lose interest in them.
The study by Pinch Media found that fewer than five percent of iPhone users are still actively using an application a month after downloading it. Apple iPhone users loss interest in free programs slightly faster than in paid ones, said Pinch Media, a company which offers advise to developers of applications for the hot-selling smartphone.
"Paid applications generally retain their users longer than free applications, although the drop-off is still pretty steep," it said. It said only one percent of total downloads have a long-term audience.
The company said the "biggest usage differentiator" is category. "Games are used for longer periods than any other type of application," Pinch Media said.
