Amazon has taken its first step toward creating an app store for devices that run on the Android operating system. It has thrown open a portal wherein interested developers can submit their apps for Android-based devices.
The next would be starting a full fledged store that is scheduled to come up sometime later this year. Amazon proven expertise in the business of selling will make it a strong case for both app developers and customers.
The company will put a price tag to the apps and recommend on which apps to purchase. Amazon will also test the apps before putting them into the store.
Amazon will share the remunerations on the apps with the developers. As per the Amazon's developer license agreement, Amazon will pay the developer 70 percent of the purchase price or 20 percent of the list price for sale of an app.
"Amazon's innovative marketing and merchandising features are designed to help customers find and discover relevant products from our vast selection, and we're excited to apply those capabilities to the apps market segment," said Amazon.
With Amazon joining the race of app stores, Google's Android market app store may be in for some challenge.
