Android and iPhone Apps - Apps or widgets

I looked over the Android Market to see what are the most popular applications. It is indisputable that games dominate sales and development.

Although there is a slew of apps that assist in typing, a few for managing docs etc, only specific applications which may attract the attention of a few specialists can really justify using such a device.

However, if I was working with time critical or a specialized data set, I would much prefer a system made for my application - touch screen do offer label buttons, but it is not something that really matters if all I really need is a 4 to 6 buttons. Could you see a bouncer using a tablet as a counter to know how many people have entered the bar?

Thus far I have only found the Lenovo tablet useful because they have a pressure sensitive stylus making the Wacom graphic tablets less relevant. Come to think of it, I still prefer drawing with a pen and paper!
