This sounds like an advertisement to come panning for gold in 1854, years after the gold rush had begun. I think the iTunes app store story is practically over by this point. The app store is long-since saturated with useless gimmicky fart apps, and Apple's force grip on the development process will stifle innovation which is already spilling back into the web via HTML5 and WebGL.

But the gold rush in the mac app store is just beginning. It will be interesting to see whether the mac app store will have a price race to the bottom like te iOS store, or whether prices will remain at 10x the level.

What would be really interesting is microsoft getting in the desktop app store game with windows 8. There's a gigantic potential market, if they manage to unlock it. I doubt they will, but still ... interesting.
