An article has come out with details on Steve Jobs and AppStore.com. Steve Jobs is known for keeping his ecosystem "in house" and bypassing domains as much as possible. So this is a story about the tech titan who still knew the power of domains.
"In the end, the idea of the web domain wasn’t even all that important to Jobs in the context of an app store concept. After all, he put the App Store on every phone, and it wouldn’t require a website to download apps. Perhaps that’s why today the domain points to the iTunes store, and launches iTunes (or gives you the option of opening it)."
