Reply to Warning - A New Disease (called APP[E]TITIS ) Identified

I finally managed to hijack my wife's iPad for a few hours (had to wait for her and my almost 5-year-old son to lose interest in it) to check out iMaschine and algoriddim's djay. My wife has 117 pending updates on her iPad! She has 3 versions of something called 'Angry Birds', 3 different versions of 'Solitaire', talking cats, giraffes and dogs, tabloid newspapers, fake bubble wrap, translators (OK we DO have 11 official languages), calculators, retro TV channels, puzzles, etc, etc, etc.

Is there a cure for this madness?

(I only have 2 apps on my HTC Desire - SoundHound and whatsapp - am I the mad one?)
