One of the new features of SharePoint 2013 is the creation of an "App Store" for custom widgets and templates for all to share either as free downloads or as a pay for model. The link to the SharePoint specific portion of the office app store is below:

As the Apple vs. Android app stores have shown, the key is consistency of the apps, and making sure that they are vetted properly. This feature will be a huge component of 2013, but as an admin I potentially see some governance opportunities as to how to handle these. That would be along the lines of coming up with an approved list or process of allowing these into various environments, and creating an internal app store that our developers can use to share features across farms and platforms.
