It's time for another one of those fireside chats we've been having an abundance of this week. After all, the weather is a bit cold outside and there's nothing like a heated conversation about the Mac App Store to warm us up.
We spoke to developers to find out how they feel about this new platform for desktop software, and if another section of the App Store devoted specifically to desktop applications will offer a level playing field for programmers, or simply cut off free range development. Did Steve’s announcement provoke shivers of anticipation or fear? And what happens next?
Nick Davies from Corel, Justin Cepelak from SplashData and Nicholas Reville from The Participatory Culture Foundation--makers of Miro and other free applications--took some time to share their opinions on Apple's next big venture. They were split on how they felt about Apple's new application distribution platform, but fortunately, they could all agree to take a wait and see attitude.
