I wanted to post this, but engine has beaten me (again)

Judging by the lack of comments, it seems it is not exciting webmasters too much, and I understand why, there isn't much for websites to adopt, it is all tools.

But business wise, I think this is big, even huge.

Everyone is doing their app store now (Blackberry, other phone vendors, all electronics companies) to replicate the iStore gold rush.

Even G has a store for Android. But nothing seems to be making a big splash.

This has the potential to be huge. Basically, G is opening the infrastructure, for others to build apps that will compete with desktop apps.

And because it is apps, a lot of it will be paying, so more sources of real revenue, both for the developers and G.
