Amazon appears close to launching its long-rumoured Android app store, according to the German website Android News.
If reports are accurate, Amazon is starting an app exclusivity and price war much like the e-book price fight it engaged in (and lost) with book publishers last year.
Android News uncovered Amazon’s hidden app store by simply entering $360 million in North American and UK sales during its first 24 hours.
Amazon has also nabbed exclusive selling rights to the upcoming Angry Birds Rio game, another fat moneybag that ought to rocket Amazon’s app store into instant prominence.
Some of the store’s other apps are well-known games and tools, such as Zenonia, Raging Thunder II, SetCPU, The Moron Test and SwiftKey.
With so many app stores out there – and more to come – it’ll be interesting to see, given Amazon’s competitive stance, who will survive and what will be left of them.
