Yes, when you think of an "app store", you probably picture iTunes, the Android Marketplace, or even the Chrome Web App Store or GetJar. That's because apps live in our browsers and on our mobile devices, right? Sort of. Robert Reich, the Co-founder and CEO of Openspace looks down the road and sees the app-ification of everything -- a time when apps will become more like CDs, real, tangible goods -- something more than a transitory download.Maybe that sounds a little crazy -- just as it probably sounds crazy that Openspace launched an actual brick and mortar "app store" this week in downtown Boulder, Colorado. Which might lead you to think, "but how many brick and mortar CD outlets are left? Isn't this a little backwards? Apps live on our phones, only sometimes in our hearts, but not in the real world, right?"
