A little over a year ago, Verizon announced their intention to create a multi-platform app store for devices running on their network.  This was met with a decidedly Chilly response because customers and commenter’s feared that Verizon would supplant native app stores to push their own.

Fast foreward to today.  Verizon sucessfully launched their app store on Blackberry, with those devices still shipping with the native Blackberry App World installed, and now they want to do the same thing to Android.  And no, this isn’t the end of the world (At least, it doesn’t have to be).
