App stores are web based markets which offers more than just mobile apps. They are also Websites that aggregate software solutions for business or personal use. App stores, also known as an applications marketplace, are typically created and built by a “marquee” vendor, such as Apple, Google, Nokia, or BB, that serves as the anchor tenant for the marketplace. App stores serve as a hub where you can discover, search for, purchase and deploy integrated third-party applications.
The marquee vendors that run the marketplaces typically have a strong brand and a large customer base since no one vendor will ever have the time or expertise to build every possible application that a customer might want. But marquee vendors can attract developers to build complementary applications to sell to their large customer base.

Now lets move out of the literature. I have personally used lots of apps from different app stores. I have used apps from nokia store when I had my 5700. I also used BB when i used curve, then apps from apple when I initially used iphone 2. Now am using apps from google cos both my tablet and fone are androids (Galaxy S series). I would say I am quite happy to stay with android for the time being, atleast until they diappointment me. I like google app market.

So here is where u guys come in. Tell us what fone u used and how their apps where. Tell us what ur problems are with the app market u have tried. Tell us if u would recommend a particular app market. I know some of u use MTN, Glo or Etisalate app stores. What are ur major problems with these stores. I for one dislike mtn store.
Pls derailers stay away. I want to honestly hear from people.
