I dislike apple, and am happy on this ruling, but still think the amazon app store, though good in theory for price competition, hurts the "one place to find all" mentality for consumers.
- jamesbritt 15y ago...hurts the "one place to find all" mentality for consumers. This is a good thing. Consumers should not be in the habit of trusting a single self-interested commercial vendor to look out for their best interests. Instead, people should get accustomed to being skeptical of vendor claims and cautious about what they install in their computers.

- Urgo 15y agoI know what you mean its just not really the same thing here.. if every store had their own 'app store' then whats the point of an app store anyway? Again as someone who has lived through a world before app stores, as long as the app store is fair its really the way to go.
- rhizome 15y agoEvery grocery store has a "produce section," "cereal aisle," and "checkout line."
- burgerbrain 15y agoI have yet to see a "the app store" that is fair, and I have a rather hard time imagining one even existing in the real world. As long as they have exclusion policies, I want as many different "app stores" competing with each other as possible.
- wnight 15y agoAs long as the app stores aren't walled gardens it doesn't matter if there are a bunch - likely they'll all have 95% of the apps. It's only a problem when every second app is exclusive to a specific store.
