@1: Bruce, NotesAPPStore is only for corporate products to be promoted... it does not mention the price of the product. What I pupose is the creation and distribution of $1.99 products, a kind of NotesAppStore only for $1.99 products.
There are a lot of pro's and con's for an appstore, but should it be build by IBM? I hope not. IBM's interest is not selling apps, so this appstore can never be a success.
But any third party, commercially or not (openntf), is welcome to offer a sales module for applications for application developers in form of an appstore.
I have just no faith in IBM here.
