When I look at BlackBerryAppWorld it lists over 200 countries which...
Not so.
They currently offer free apps to 56 countries and paid apps to 13
countries (a slightly different 13 than Android Market's 13 ... Not
Canada! - no, just kidding).
Its not that clear which countries Blackberry
AndAppStore is a good example, it is completely using Paypal

Btw, I saw that you (via AndAppStore) got an honorable mention in the

Thanks, it's just shame they didn't talk to us at all about the

Then I'm assuming you must require the app publisher to make some
small addition to their source code - which is no big deal to the
coder.
If you also add in that Market does things that third party after-

Nope.

We've been running AndAppStore since the G1 launch and the most common
reason we hear for developers not listing is that they don't want to
maintain multiple market listings, so I doubt that the creation of
multiple markets backed by large companies is viable.
you can see that any company
getting into the Android app store space is competing on a uneven
playing field from day 1 on devices where they aren't integrated into
the firmware, which makes running a market an unattractive proposition
for most businesses.

When I look at BlackBerry App World it lists over 200 countries which

NAFTA.
Yes, I also find it odd that there are four countries that they sell

Slight problem,
The pre-installed market in every phone is Google's.
How do you overcome that ?
Thats why I suggest its got to be an Oracle-level company - some
entity that carriers will do deals with at the pre-installed market

Of the Taiwanese companies ACER is probably the most international in

They have this annual pattern thats been going for years, where they

I think that it's highly possible for a competing App market to make a
splash but it would have to come pre-installed on the phones. It could be
possible though for a company who develops one to pre-install it if they
make a deal with HTC for certain models of phones :-)
Perhaps just pick 2 of
