Requirements for publishing a mobile app

[J. Landman Gay]

Klaus is right, although there's a lawsuit against Apple about requiring 
their own store for distribution. Apple is protesting that vigorously but 
we'll see how it goes.

For Android you can not only distribute on a website, you can send the app 
in email, Quick Share, or any other way to get the app to the client. 
That's one of the advantages of Android.
