I don't understand why this is only an app, or even an iOS exclusive app. Maybe I am no longer the norm, but I do most of my shopping on the web. So even if I had an iOS device, I wouldn't be into the idea of needing an app to buy a T-shirt from a band I like.
Edit: I came off more negative then I intended. I really love the idea, I am just a bit confused and number about it being locked up as an app.
I'll just add two quick things - First, we have the ability to create a more unique and interesting experience on a native application than via the web. For example, we can access a fan's iTunes library and Facebook with just one click. Thats pretty much impossible on the web. Second, this is just our first product. We plan to bring Merchbar everywhere, hopefully one day somewhere you'll love it.

Don't worry, we don't take it personally. :)
