Appstore has issues, but really you can't lay the blame at their feet because they didn't handle the absurd regional restrictions required by publishers and Amazon to a strict enough standard. There aren't many apps that require strict regional restrictions like this Kindle app.
People get around regional restrictions using a number of methods on the iPhone or the Kindle. Publishers just need to hurry up and work out international licensing for ebooks which gives the appropriate money to regional publishers. It shouldn't be hard, just track the IP when the purchase is made and if it's in Australia, then the Australian region distributor/publisher gets their cut.
I'll ignore the upcoming OS battle other than saying the Apple appstore is obviously far beyond the palm pre appstore in terms of market share and number of apps, Windows 7 is not terrible (in fact it's actually good!), and I love my Macbook Pro most of all.
