Google is preparing an online store in which it will sell third-party business software to Google Apps customers, according to a report.
The Wall Street Journal says Google's store could arrive as early as March, with the works of third-party developers available as enhancements to Google's office productivity software suite. It appears the store would allow Gmail and Google Docs users to purchase add-ons for niche features too specialised for the mainstream Google Apps product.
Google already has a directory of sorts for these types of applications. The Google Solutions Marketplace contains lists and reviews of third-party software for Google Apps and Enterprise Search, but it does not let you buy the applications directly from Google.
