Looked up statistics and the Meta Quest headset, after about 3 years of availability, has…
…500 apps.
For comparison, the iOS App Store has close to 4,000,000 apps.
Apple has picked a steep hill to climb.

@thomasfuchs I suspect folks install Beat Saber and then forget anything else exists. It's about the only thing I can tolerate on the Quest 2, given the janky resolution.
(not tried hooking up to a PC for the extra grunt, yet)
I think the competition for them isn’t Meta, games consoles or one of the headset makers for PCs.
The competition is themselves, they’re basically creating virtual Macs.
That’s why it’s priced how it is and positioned 80% as work device.
Will it work, for work?
They already make the best computers, and those don’t make people nauseous looking at them, and you don’t need to strap anything to your head. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@rvr they gotta work on the battery life :)
@thomasfuchs Agreed, and I thought that messaging was super clear. They were kind of casting about for the scenarios where that really makes sense, and I thought the stuff where it was like, “you’re doing work in your computer, but you’re also making breakfast for your kids” was the weakest and most unsettling.
Sitting on a cramped airplane and being able to block out your surroundings and use a giant screen that doesn’t take up any physical space? Yes please.
@DosFox @kalleboo didn’t they literally show Microsoft Office in the demo :)
@thomasfuchs It has the same CPU as a Mac and a higher resolution screen so from that perspective it kind of makes sense.
It just needs to make up for the same limitations ipadOS has
@kalleboo @thomasfuchs but what is it *for*
It's priced way too high to be a replacement for a media computer, and I cannot imagine anyone in their right mind using it for creating documents.
