Thanks All!
I appologise for using this forum I thought I had the correct one. Richard is
right I was thinking of Web Start and Felix.
I have only worked with 2 app stores so far and they both do not allow the use
of OSGI. One was the Java Spp Store and the other Intel Appup.
I have brought up the issue again with Intel to see how they respond.
So without App Store support OSGI use will be limited to corp and sites where
developers setup Felix or whatever the back end support for distribution
currently is.
Please let me know if I am wrong.

I think he means things like Web Start for initial provisioning...the answer is
still "yes".
