The *most* *important* feature of 4.0 was the API freeze.

App developers weren't writing/testing apps because the underlying libraries were a moving target. 4.0 was the release that said "this target has stopped moving, please start porting your apps".

So OF COURSE there were no apps worth speaking of on 4.0.

Cheers,
Wol
