I understand what you are saying, but I believe the reasoning applies more directly to other markets (eg, slideme). I don't think that the Amazon App store exists due to restrictive Google policies, but rather due to Amazon's desires to directly enter this market (cf, Kindle Fire).
- Urgo 15y agoI've been using smart phones since the treo, and used palm devices since around 1999/2000. Since I've lived through all of that I can really appreciate a single source to get everything, manage updates, etc as long as that source is fair and unbiased. That is why I didn't like when amazon launched their own store for android apps. It added a second store you had to run to update apps, and segregated the market, etc. If google keeps heading down this path though I will support a open 3rd party marketplace.
