The whole idea behind the apps stores; whether it is Google apps or Apple apps is to control what you can install on your device and to get a cut of the profits. I don't like the control part; I should be able put any program on my computer; even if that computer is an Apple or Google phone, that I wish. However, we know that both Google and Apple determines what apps appear in their markets. Take GAB's app, they won't let it be in the market for people to download. Of course since these devices; even the phones, are just computers, then there are going to be alternative ways. I mostly deal with Android based devices which use APK files. There are means where you can install apps without going through the apps market. You can host the app on your server and provide it to your users for them to download and inject the app onto the device. I think it is also available on Apple devices but I don't own an Apple product and never intend to either.
