    A quick google news search resulted in this article. http://www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/content_display/industry/e3i4f6b8b7378b9d594d395167950f86b17
    According to the article, an App store could open in the coming weeks, but keep in mind, this is Verizon.

    Verizon Phones Will Have Verizon's App Store, No One Else's

    Talking up Verizon's July 28 developer event, GigaOM drops the bit that Verizon's "app store will be the sole marketplace on devices sold by the company meaning stores such as Research In Motion's BlackBerry App World or Microsoft's Windows Mobile Marketplace won't get placement on Verizon handsets."

    Granted, multiple app stores on one phone is flustercuck waiting to happen, but uh, it sounds a little less than open to me. Verizon not only stays in control of the handset, it shifts the relationship with the developer from the OS/phone maker to the carrier, Verizon.

    It kind of astounds me how many people are doing this wrong. And it sounds like Verizon's joining that crowd.
