And since apps have all the capabilities of websites, that means that by extension you can write an app which is a store too. So you don't even need a webstore app. You could simply rely on using websites to do this. > For example, > - Can an "app store" app be added even if no "app store" apps installed? Yes. The only boot-strap mechanism you need is a browser. Through a website displayed by the browser the user can install apps. > - Can an added app be granted access to ApplicationRegistry with > user permission? All websites have access to the ApplicationRegistry interface. Though note that this doesn't mean that all websites have access to all applications installed from anywhere. / Jonas
