+1 I think in the future companies building apps will sell them through their own channels. Sure you can buy Photoshop from many places (including Adobe's website), not only on a single store? At the end of the day you just buy it from the channel you trust.
Also, I think things like Linux repositories are really good, but because the people maintaining those repositories have FULL ACCESS to the source code of the apps they host. That's a BIG, BIG difference. How's Apple / Google whoever going to assure that there's no malware in ALL the apps they host? I for one welcome multiple app stores, where each of those stores compete for a better service both to users and developers.
