>> A platform that doesn't limit your freedom. You're free to build and distribute your apps without walled gardens. You don't need to pay to place an app on Firefox Marketplace.
>The same is true of Android.
This is a small nitpick, but you do need to pay a one-time $15 fee to become a developer to have your app listed in the store. Beyond that publication is free, though.
I meant that nothing stops you from distributing your application through a different channel, like selling the .apk on your website or one of the alternative app stores.
Ah. I misunderstood. Though I'm really surprised you can't do that with iPhone apps. Can you not distribute an iPhone package (whatever the extension is) via alternative means?
