AppStore isn't useful just because you get native stuff, it's essential because you need somebody to handle the actual payment from users.
Sure, it's easy to move some free apps towards the web, but what if you want to make some money ?
- jeff18 17y agoIt is actually quite easy to handle payments by yourself. You can go direct with PayPal, Amazon FPS, and Google Checkout, or go through a service like Kagi, Plimus, etc. which will abstract it even further. However, I would expect most web application developers to be experienced enough web programmers, that setting up a payment processor would be about 1 hour of work. ;)
- Tichy 17y agoIt's still harder to get people to pay, though. With the app store, users are already registered.
