Quality isn't quantity. Compare: two or three (don't remember) different theremins in iPhone app store, all with 0.99$ price, and one free open-source theremin on maemo.org.

And centralized app store gives artificial restrictions. Would it be possible to have unlocked FM transceiver if the only way to install an application was through centralized censored App Store?

Somewhat subjective.
I wasn't making a case of one being better than the other. I was making a point of how different they are and the 'advent' of a workable pattern for a commercial appstore is a significant step forward to a 'digital future'.

FOSS repositories will continue (its underground-ish) existence and AppStores will continue to take up the limelight and create interesting online marketplaces.
