It absolutely slays me every time some tech company decides they are going to just up and copy Apple's success, out of the blue. Do a search for the technical details of an Intel processor. http://processorfinder.intel.com/Default.aspx That is what an Intel app store will look like. That's how it will work.
I’m not exactly sure what you are asking us to do a search for. I do quite like their site setup. I haven’t used that part of it. I usually just stick with the monthly price list PDF when i need to look something up.

You are correct, but there is some truth, albeit indirectly, with eehd’s comment. Jobs set the scene for the majority of apps being free and of very low cost. This was likely planned as a way to sell more iPhones and iPods and grow the platform which makes eehd’s comment valid.
They give away a very robust SDK, they only charge $99 a year to be an active developer and only take 30% for the hosting and selling of the app. Others are now following the 70/30 model but that wasn’t the case before Apple announced their pricing structure in March 2008. This made it quite easy for many talented (and untalented) devs to get onboard quickly.
Here is the video. The relevant parts at 66 minutes…
Can you P_L_E_A_S_E, P_L_E_A_S_E, shut up with your incessant and utterly off-topic drivel? P_L_E_A_S_E? Can you, like, get a job or girlfriend or dog or something, so that you can give it a rest once in a while?

IMHO, given the fact that he seems to have nothing else to do with his life except post stink-bombs here 24/7, he repeatedly ends up making threads in this site look like it is a joke, and by inference.....

Look, I am not suggesting that anyone -- least of all, me -- has a monopoly on wisdom or insights. But it is truly distressing to see recalcitrant and relentless stupidity and negativity.
Dude, take your meds or double their dosage. Chill out.

Come on ride the train?
Get on the ignore train!
The problem is you can't ignore truth- it hurts. Ask AT&T.
If so, then this is a viable platform.
