I wonder though, how will the ever-increasing amount of application stores affect corporate software developers? It seems these stores are like silos, they are putting up walls between important enterprise mobile projects and industry competition. Really, I think Web-based mobile development rather than native developer will win out. Think about it, will corporations in the current economic climate (or ever as they adopt more agility) commit time and money to develop a business application for each platform? Probably not, so some stores will win and others will lose... the only answer for all to share success is Web-based mobile development.
