I don't think that's what he meant. That app from what i understand lets you create a ringtone from any song you have. That's still some utility. TBH i think its pretty useful, say you want a tune which appears midway in a song as your ringtone, you can use that.
This for example:
https://market.android.com/details?id=uk.co.randomhouse.superpegg&feature=top-paid
is just a novel (or 4?) as an app. Not an app which can read novels. I don't know whether these are present in the appstore also(in installous they are)
Live wallpapers is another category , they are counted as apps i think.

what i was trying to show is that Apple app store too have similar apps. of course things have changed now. at one point of time apple app store was full of crap apps like the fart apps and so on. they changed their policies at a later stage to block apps that had no 'purpose'. google of course has no such restrictions. so anyone can put an app on the android market as long as it is not malware.

Yes thats exactly what i meant. And regarding e-books, prior to iBooks, there was no other medium for ebook distribution in iOS, which is why you can still find many e-books as stand alone apps in the app store.
So yes, this comparison is moot. Also, i think an OS's success can be judged with more accuracy if we count the number of paid apps, as opposed to free ones. More paid apps = more developer interest = healthier OS ecosystem.
