Do they really think that developers will create and maintain Apps for each different store – what a nightmare!

So far the following have or are indicating that they will launch an App store soon:

  • The Apple App marketplace which was the first I reckon
  • Blackberry is releasing one soon
  • Nokia has mentioned one (though a bit quiet on it at the mo)
  • Google’s android market
  • Palm with their App Catalog
  • Samsung

    The one problem with Samsung’s App store is that they don’t control the platform it will be launched on like Apple, Google, RIM and Palm. So in the near future everything could be a big messy market.
