Patent Indicates App Sharing for App Stores
Geek.com: Apple is, apparently, working on the next generation of app store features.
"A patent application filed by Apple in the second quarter of 2009 has come to light which describes making it easier for people to share apps with one another."
"Apple’s current app stores do not allow applications to be shared between mobile devices. That means if you’re carrying your iPhone, iPad or other kind of Apple device and see someone else using an app you want, you need to make sure you get the title of the app correct, go to the corresponding app store on your own device, and download it. Those additional steps could mean the loss of a sale should a consumer get the name of an application wrong or forget to download it later."
