Amazon AppStore - Android Users Win, Google Loses
Amazon has officially launched the Android Appstore, a potential iTunes equivalent for Android.
The company–whose roots are in e-commerce and not mobile–aspires to merchandise and sell apps better than Google does on its own platform.
And, potentially as well as Apple, which up until now has been the shining star in mobile.
Beginning tonight, the Appstore will be accessible online at amazon.com/appstore. Android owners will also be able to download a version of the store to their handset. The store will support hundreds of mobile operators and hardware manufacturers.
