Why Apple will soon lose its tight grip on the App Store

I remember the wild west that dominated the Palm software. Poorly written apps abound. Memory leaky apps would bring the device to a stand still in a few short days. These apps were not written to be malicious, just low standards. The devices back then didn't have net access, and didn't hold your world.

Opening up iOS devices to third party un-vetted apps will be very bad for users, and Apple's image.
