Even putting aside concerns about openness, the mere fact that they are talking this early about an app store is evidence that they're not focused on delivering value. Apple did not start talking about an app store for iDevices until they had millions of satisfied customers. I mean, why not use the Mac App Store? Maybe they have a good answer to that question, but if so, they should tell us what it is.

Why would they use the Mac App Store? To throw profits to Apple?

I was thinking Apple had this technology patented...maybe they have a licensing agreement that requires use of App Store.
