Amazon is getting ready to launch their very own digital store for Android applications. The Amazon AppStore aims to offer Android users another venue for App purchases outside of the native Android Market.
Amazon recently launched the official website for the AppStore a bit early and while it was promptly removed from view, the image above is a screenshot taken by AndroidNews.de who managed to catch the website in action before it was removed.
Now, Wired.com has received word from a ‘trusted source’ that says Amazon is gearing up to launch the AppStore on Tuesday, March 22nd. We don’t have any official word yet from Amazon, of course.
Amazon’s AppStore is definitely one to watch, with payment options in more locales than Google has available, we feel like Amazon definitely has a chance to offer some serious competition in the Application purchasing. We’ll keep our eye out for official word from Amazon and pass it on if we hear anything.
