I bet that must open up some really interesting opportunity for distributing B4i apps?
Personally I'm not in great need of having my apps distributed outside the app store (I imagine @Jmu5667 would find it interesting though) but I would really like to be able to send versions to customers for testing before the app lands in the app store.
