AppStoreBore

A friend, colleague or family member who goes on and on about the iPhone Applications and AppStore.

Don't get me wrong I love the iPhone and the Appstore as much as the next man, however, I met an old school mate in the pub the other day. We had loads to catch up with but just as we sat down he whipped out his iPhone and showed me his 325 applications. Turned out he'd become an AppstoreBore.

appsturbate

to simulate the use of smartphone/i-phone apps for another, in an attempt to show them how necessary/cool it is to have or need to have them.

an explanation of the app's assets by partial demo of said app.
unlike masturbation, appsturbation requires another person as voyeur, if you will, to watch the appsturbator show his/her strokes.

people gathered 'round, as mikey stroked his iphone screen, showing off his latest app. he just needed to appsturbate, then and there. sure it wasn't as good as the full-on, program he used on his home computer, but it would do for now.
