There are a number of systemic obstacles facing app developers today, with limitations in distribution and monetization channels being chief among them. Oh, and then there's fragmentation, as developers have to create different versions of the same app for different phones, different browsers, different OSes, and so on. While Apple's app store provides developers with some great tools to make money (like subscriptions and in-app billing), once you're in the Apple ecosystem, you're locked in. What's more, different carriers have their own set of rules that often limit, say, the distribution of third party apps. AT&T, for example, doesn't let its subscribers download apps from third party app stores. (Though, with the launch of Amazon's app store, renewed pressure on the carrier spurred it to announce late last week that it will be lifting these restrictions for its Android customers downloading on Amazon. Of course, when that will happen is anyone's best guess.)
