Android app market

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 

I just read over on Techcrunch that Android app. developers are going to get a "store" akin to Apple's app. store for the iphone/touch applications. The app store and rapid app distribution is one of the things I find sexiest about the iPhone, so this sounds great to me. A quick excerpt from the Android Blog:


"Developers will be able to make their content available on an open service hosted by Google that features a feedback and rating system similar to YouTube. We chose the term “market” rather than “store” because we feel that developers should have an open and unobstructed environment to make their content available. Similar to YouTube, content can debut in the marketplace after only three simple steps: register as a merchant, upload and describe your content and publish it. We also intend to provide developers with a useful dashboard and analytics to help drive their business and ultimately improve their offerings."

"a feedback and rating system similar to YouTube"

 

I could never cite YouTube as a positive example of community-based feedback with a straight face.

 

App distribution is a very good thing, though.  Definitely lacking in the current incarnation of windows mobile.
