Amazon Launches Its Own Android App Store
Amazon opened the doors Tuesday on its own marketplace for Android apps. As reported by Wired.com last week, Amazon's new store, the Amazon Appstore for Android, appears to be a more-carefully curated, selective virtual storefront than the Google's default Android Market. "The Android platform's openness provides a great opportunity to reach new customers," said Mikael Hed, CEO of Rovio, the maker of Angry Birds, in a statement provided by Amazon. In addition, the Android Market has been frequently criticized for the low quality of and even security risks posed by some apps, a probably inevitable side effect of Google's rather open policies. Customers can browse Android apps through Amazon's familiar web interface, which makes it easy to see customer ratings and reviews, look at screenshots, read details on the app and see related apps.
