> Many developers marketing through the App Store are becoming overnight millionaires. Established software developers who have switched to App store distribution have seen sales increases of not 100% but 100 times.

Wow! And without even any help from me. smile

I wonder how much of those sales is real, i.e. ongoing, and how much is "euphoric," i.e. people going short-term nuts buying stuff because they now know it's there? (I've read that when iPhones first came out many people who totaled their purchases after the euphoria wore off were flabbergasted by how quickly 99¢-a-pop adds up.)

> IMHO not all change is good and I am seldom, if ever, in favor of anything that tends to decrease competition, but so far it seems any shortcomings in the App Store concept are far outweighed by the positives.

For developers, no argument (apparently), but for us users, I don't know that all the results are in yet.
