The average iPhone or iPod Touch owner uses 5 to 10 apps regularly, according to Flurry, a research firm that studies mobile trends. This despite the surfeit of available apps: some 140,000 and counting.

This self realization is what led to my iPhone experiment a few weeks back. I knew that, despite the four pages of apps, there were only a handful I used often enough to warrant placement on my home screen. Seems most people fall into this category. Perhaps you do as well.  (thx Matt Thomas)

that is possibly right but every iphone user uses 5 to 10 different apps! I look around and the overlap of apps on the iphone of my friends are minimal!
