It's funny how they are trying to suggest that getting same apps isn't going to be a problem :).
I mean they'd only have to pay 0.7x the cost of the apps, if that.

Oh how convenient!
I wonder if they will allow an app that lets people migrate from iOS to something else on their app store. The reality distortion field at Cupertino remains strong.
However my anecdotal evidence is that having paid for apps on one platform isn't a barrier to switching for a lot of people. It seems to be an afterthought, a realisation only when they come to download (and pay) for the app again. By that point its too late.
More than that, even on iOS the paid App model is going away and free apps with in-app-purchase or other premium models are what's succeeding. (not watch this get downvoted.)
