Both handle installation of free apps and updates to them. Why is Maemo Extras a good way of handling software installations and Android/Apple marketplaces a bad one? Is it the commercial aspect that you have a problem with?

Not a fan of the iPhone, and only slightly like Android, but I like the app stores. One spot for all of the apps is a good idea any way you slice it.
