Earlier this week, we published a post lamenting the coming app store chaos as operators, hardware makers and software writers jump into the mobile applications pond.

The Android Market is only one of the rush of app stores as consumer chaos is seen
On Thursday, Compete echoed the notion that the app store rush is on. The research firm in a blog post began a list of coming stores, with online proprietors eager to duplicate Apple’s success with its iPhone App Store.
All this enthusiasm could create confusion for consumers unsure of where to find applications for their phones.
Apparently, that hasn’t held back any of the up and comers. Here’s the list Compete started. Please add to in the comments section below:
IPhone App Store
Google Android Market
Microsoft Skymarket
Nokia’s Ovi Store
Blackberry App World
Acer’s app store (speculation)
