App started the App Store thing with the iPhone, no one else had anything like it really. Last week Apple reported that the App Store had hosted it 10 billionth download, which by anybody's reckoning is impressive.
Earlier in January Apple introduced an OSX App Store built right in to the operating system. Developers have taken to it well and a little know English developer, Pixelmator have already generated $1m in revenue since the App Store launch. For developers from small to large this is a brilliant development but for resellers this is a disaster and I see the market for 'boxed' software already withering on the vine.
From a user point of view this couldn't be more convenient. However if you design or produce packaging for software or are a big supplier of software CDs and DVDs, your time is nearly up.
Does anyone disagree?
