Android to get an App Store, cleverly called Android Market

I hope WinMo 7 is actually more consumer oriented, or else it won't benefit from things like this that users really want, instead of the usual stuff.

You have to buy apps? Lame. It better be mostly free software.
Good thing I've got my Freerunner.
