Isn't that one way we've gotten better apps of a type, by having multiple versions of same type of app, allowing users to compare them and select which one is best for their needs?

I'd be glad to see a bunch of the same type from different developers to see how they dealt with the same set of issues....

Anyway, just my 2¢.....

I see that we both have a slightly different opinion about this. I'd rather have 1 twitter + 1 facebook + 1 digg app than have 3 twitter apps. They may not be top-notch in the first release but each of these applications can/will be improved further by developers based on the feedback from users. But hey, not everybody feels this way.

As a noob developer who is slowly picking up embedded development, my opinion is biased
