All it will take is a trustworthy company to launch a 3rd party app store.

This really is the key to this being successful I think. Right now a lot of the nervousness around opening iOS is because of the fact that people (rightly or wrongly) trust and have a relationship with Apple.

The people who are concerned about third party app stores really are worried about the implication of having to trust a new third party with their device, their payment details, their personal info, etc.

Put someone reputable behind an alternative and it becomes an easier sell.
