Android App Store?

You've got to love a good rumor. The Register has an interesting piece (which was swiftly picked up around the world) about the hint of a future iPhone-style app store for Google's Android platform.

The story came from comments from Android project leader Andy Rubin, speaking at the Google I/O developer conference in San Francisco.

An app store from Apple (for iPhone) or from Google (for Android) seems like a smart way to go if you are trying to give an OS/platform the best start in life. In time it will be an interesting exercise to see if Apple can bring their trademark slickness and Google can apply their trademark simplicity/smartness to buying mobile apps.
