... App Store. "I actually will agree that there's some good work, particularly at Facebook and also with the iPhone, where both of those companies have made it easier for developers to distribute their applications," he said. The chair chucker went on to say there's "not much money being made" with those platforms, but he agreed with the concept, and confirmed there's something coming from Redmond on this front soon. So, Microsoft emulate Apple? I'll believe it when I see it... [Computerworld] ...
Ballmer hints on launching Apple like Windows App Store
Newlaunches.com —
... Apple's iPhone App Store, but being the monopoly player in the IT industry, Microsoft's application marketplace, and delivery mechanism is the industry itself. Simply cataloguing the plethora of software available from DOS to Windows 7, Windows Mobile, and now Windows Azure is overwhelming.

... at [WebKit], but right now we feel very confident in our browser team and its availability to execute," he said at a developers conference in Australia, adding that while it's important his firm's browser embraces Web standards, it's vital that the company also be able to deliver "proprietary innovation" through "innovative extensions." That said, Ballmer was more keen on mimicking Apple's move to digital software distribution through the App Store, revealing that Microsoft will soon launch a similar program that lets developers distribute their applications directly to ...

There's no doubt that Apple's iPhone has changed the landscape of the smart phone industry, and indeed the mobile phone business as a whole. But one of the most revolutionary advances that Apple offered up isn't in the iPhone itself: It's the mechanism the company developed to distribute non-Apple applications to iPhone and iPod touch users.
