I've always thought someone should do this. Would have though MS, BB or Samsung would have more to gain than Apple, but the result would have to worth the cost?

I've always thought someone should do this. Would have though MS, BB or Samsung would have more to gain than Apple, but the result would have to worth the cost? However my anecdotal evidence is that having paid for apps on one platform isn't a barrier to switching for a lot of people. It seems to be an afterthought, a realisation only when they come to download (and pay) for the app again. By that point its too late.

Plus nobody pays for Apps on other platforms. Developers who release on iOS and android see 10-100 times the revenue on iOS. Partly this is piracy, but a lot of it is culture. More than that, even on iOS the paid App model is going away and free apps with in-app-purchase or other premium models are what's succeeding. (not watch this get downvoted.)
