iTunes App Store success could not be left unnoticed. Began to appear not only online shops of mobile applications, but also "shop" selling "desktop" software. Yesterday, for example, work began to shop Bodega, Which aims to become the App Store for Mac OS X.
work is organized quite simply the technical side. There Bodega.app client who like iTunes offers the user access to a large catalog of applications. Programs sorted by twenty categories. Among them are not only paid, but also free. There's also a list of the most popular programs. Another similarity - the existence of assessments and user reviews. But there are differences - next to the description of the program with links to reviews in magazines and newspapers, as well as thematic blogs.
Buy apps direct from Bodega, but the browser will be launched for download. The range of programs is small - about two hundred programs. In this case, the future of Bodega rather vague. If applications from developers to get into the directory will be a lot, "Bodega" will inevitably face challenges. Even Apple was unable to avoid problems with the App Store.
The second problem Bodega - comparative uselessness of the user. It has long existed online software stores, including discount stores, selling at a deep discount. Bodega fundamentally new does not offer. It's just very beautiful "wrapper" for the application directory.
