Would we need corporate sponsors as well as advertising?
That's quite a good idea. Hosting sponsor is probably one of the first things we should be doing. Payment-solution is another thing which should be possible to get a sponsor for. Software/Design to run this Store - Well there should be enough smart and dedicated people in here to get it up and running.

Apple have used cash generated by advertising to support cheaper pricing of apps and I think this is a good idea, it would be nice to see free apps and these to be payed through advertising but perhaps a middle ground could be reached where developer competitions are held with cash rpizes or the like?
"Put your app here, and have the chance of winning $$$" - Not sure if the "chance"-part is attractive for developers.

Another thing could be - "Hire a developer"-thing, which you could present a problem, and someone with the knownledge could develop it for you, for a small fee/donation.
