Buried a few paragraphs into my post a few days ago about how Android's openness is giving the carriers a way to potentially ruin the platform , I noted the following tidbit of information I had heard: Earlier this year, Verizon rolled out its own V Cast app store on some BlackBerry devices. This occurred despite that fact that BlackBerry devices have their own app store (App World). From what we’re hearing, Verizon is also planning to launch this store on their Android phones as well in the future. Obviously, this store would be pre-installed, and it would likely be more prominently displayed than Android’s own Market for apps. A new report today from the blog Android and Me seems to confirm this information . Specifically, the report states that Verizon is already accepting submissions for their new V CAST App Store on Android -- and that the store will exist outside of Android's own Market. The best part? It will be a curated store (read: walled garden), much like Apple's App Store rather than Android's Market.
