A billion iPhone apps, mostly to talk about the weather?

As Apple's App Store continues its #-Link-Snipped-# downloaded, Compete has released the results of a rather humorous study of iPhone users. Apparently, for all the bells and whistles the combination of the iPhone and the App Store offers, the most popular thing to do is look up the weather, as MediaPost #-Link-Snipped-# today.Of those iPhone users surveyed, 39 percent stated that a weather application was one of their three most-used apps on their device. This was far ahead of any of the number two cited app, Facebook, which 25 percent of those surveyed named. By far the most popular category in the App Store when it comes to actual downloads is games, but in this survey, that category only managed third place with 20 percent. Compare that to numbers from ComScore last week which reported that #-Link-Snipped-# of all iPhone and iPod touches have a version of the game Tap Tap Revenge installed.
