Hi Barry,

Great to hear that you're looking to the future, and getting a head start :-).

I have a few questions for you which will better shape the answers you're after.

Is your application open (as in source, not just free)? Or is it
commercial? If it's commercial, then you will likely be reliant on an
app store of some kind, see answers to your next point.

App stores will probably come in two varieties: third party ones (i.e.
random things like MeeGoApps.com as you mention..) and vendor-specific
stores, like Nokia's Ovi and Intel's AppUp. Requirements will vary
(obviously, with no central provider), but this also means you can
pick and choose to find the best fit for you when the time comes.

HTH,
