Apple launches "Hall of Fame" to showcase best apps

If you think wading through 300,000 apps for iphone is a cumbersome process - and let's face it, who doesn't think that? - then Apple finally has a solution to your problem of not knowing what the best apps are.

The apps for iphone Store now has more than 300,000 apps available. That's about three times the number of downloadable programs on the Android Market. Apple has gone through that massive list and chosen the 50 best, running the gamut from games to note-taking apps.

The list includes many of the same
Iphone applications that were inducted into the unofficial App Hall of Fame that a handful of mobile game publications put together last month.

Among the
Iphone apps
that are part of Apple's Hall of Fame are:

Angry Birds
Archetype
Carcassonne
Chaos Rings
Cut the Rope
Dark Nebula - Episode Two
Espgaluda II
Plants vs Zombies
CNN Mobile
Epicurious Recipes
Explore 9/11

The vast majority of games in the list are premium apps, ranging from 99 cents to over $10. Other apps for iphone include a wide selection of free offerings.

Apple will assumedly be updating the Hall of Fame, so we'll get to see which ones stand the test of time. And while it does help narrow down the crowded apps for iphone Store, we do hope that the new list doesn't discourage developers looking to break into the market.
