Theories On a Mac App Store →
Apple established the iTunes Store as a standard of perfection for delivering seamless downloads of podcasts, television shows, movies and everything else to keep us entertained. Then came the App Store who along with its endless distribution of Apps catering to pretty much any interest you might have or in time developed because of an app you downloaded, spawned a community of passionate developers.
In both instances, the distribution method revolved around one centralize place for a consumer to visit and find anything as well as for any artist, company or developer included in either store to market their product. In the grand scheme of things, missing from the equation is a place for Mac software developers to participate in a similar realm. Chris Ryan discusses the existence and benefits that a Mac App Store would offer to fill this void:

One of the best things about using a Mac are all of those neat little applications you always see popping up on the net. With a Mac App Store, now these developers can share the same space as big-name guys like Adobe and Microsoft, without needing an advertising budget as big as theirs.
