..... something to think about ... Why would users need another App Store for the same plataform if it doesn´t add anything better than the ones we have already? I´m trying to imagine what will happen if every manufacturer/carrier decides not to include android market on their custom Android OS compilations and use their own market. Fragmentation is the smaller of the problems. As a developer, I don´t want to have to register my apps in a lot of places ... check all of them to see comments, reviews, to update versions, to receive money, to check for issues, etc. Also, for users this will be terrible since no store (but android market maybe) will have all the apps available. Also, the user won´t be able to choose which store to use since market apps normaly aren´t available for download (for security reasons). And all this for what? Every manufacturer now want´s to get it´s part of the standard 30% stores take. Also, every carrier want´s it, so we will end in an even more fragmented scenario. This is something the alliance should discuss as a decision for a future scenario of Android. Also, I hope users opt for devices with Android Market, as here in Brazil some carriers are already selling devices without Android Market and have already informed that this decision is related to the launch of their own markets. This can lead to a decline in the plataform, for sure.
In the end, I hope Google stops closing it´s eyes and start to improve Android Market imediately: security problems, web portal´s lack of features (including search), small description and only 2 screenshots for developers, etc are just a few of the complains we hear every single day. Well, I wish samsung doesn´t take android market off of their devices .... but I don´t believe it can be stopped since it seems their market won´t be any better so users won´t use it unless they have to. Business decisions ... and the concept of an integrated app store goes down the water.
