It just seems to me that it's going to be more difficult to make a dent against the incumbent giant without a similar App store, complete with users reviews etc. And is every Android device going to be able to use every Android App? Will there be ring-fenced App stores for every major device that comes out?

Don't get me wrong, I want an open tablet more than a closed one, but the man in the street seems to like what Apple are doing. And though I want an open tablet more than a closed one, I don't really want either very much.

Actually there is an app store for android... The funny thing is a lot of the android apps are ported over to Apples app store once the bugs are worked out. And don't forget that the Ipad can't multitask...Android can.
