A new report suggests the huge number of applications offered through Apple’s App Store is swelled by “bulk apps” — template-based apps which have the same price and look and feel but different content. The study by Boston-based Skyhook Wireless found that the release of bulk apps caused a spike in the number of location-based services apps for the iPhone in the first half of 2009. Skyhook, a location technology developer, estimates about one third of the 2,800 location apps in the App Store are mass-produced local search or travel guide apps.
