When I first got my iPhone 3G I was amazed at all of the useless apps that I could download from the Apple App Store. 20,000+ at the time. Now they advertise over 200,000. I quickly found though, that if you didn't sync your iPhone through iTunes you would lose any purchased apps once you restored your phone. Also, on the iPhone you can only install one application at a time. Pretty lame.

After activating my Samsung Captivate the first thing I did was browse the Android Market for the same apps that I had been using on my iPhone. Foursquare, Facebook, Twitter, Meebo, Wordpress, Weather Channel... they were all there! As I tapped to install each app it ran in the background and before I knew it I had installed all of my apps at the same time without ever leaving the Android Market. I was amazed! And I don't have to sync my phone with anything to save my apps. The Android Market keeps track of it all for me!
