Savio Rodrigues has an interesting post up called
Yes, we need an open App Store standard, in which he cites some of the many advantages that could come of shared standards. Online App Stores, of course, have become all the rage, especially with the success of Apple's App Store. Android Market, too, already has over 3,000 applications, many of them great, and free. With Apple, Sun, Nokia and others so focused on the downloadable mobile apps phenomenon, isn't Rodrigues right? I'd say he is correct. However, I'd also say that open source players are the only ones who stand a chance of making this idea work.
