Amazon is preparing an application store for Android

Posted by admin | engadgets | Friday 8 October 2010 4:42 am

Amazon is not content with being one of the largest bookstores in the world, also aims to enter fully into the mobile software market. As they say in the Wall Street Journal, Amazon would be hashed out details for the launch of an Apple Android application store. The newspaper claims a document that explains the conditions for developers, which among other things, includes applications in your shop can not be sold at a lower price anywhere else.

Amazon will have exclusivity for at least two weeks ( assume that relate exclusively on Android, or may forget also have applications available on IOS). What is not known is whether this store is only for additional income or as part of the ecosystem to a possible tablet, and the family is sure to continue to grow Kindle …

The detail info below:

Amazon.com Inc. is plotting a deeper foray into Google Inc.’s and Apple Inc.’s turf, with plans to open an online applications store for smartphones running Google’s Android software, said people briefed on Amazon’s plans.

Amazon’s entry into the mobile-applications marketplace would open a new battlefield with Apple, which pioneered the market with its iPhone App Store. Amazon already competes with Apple’s iTunes in sales of digital music, videos and books.

Buy Ebook Reader Kindle in Amazon

The shopping experience in Amazon

Finally I decided to buy the Amazon Kindle. He entered www.amazon.com, add Kindle to my shopping cart (“Add to shopping cart” on the right side) and give it to validate. We can also click on the link in this page and it takes you directly to this page. On the next screen click on “Proceed to Checkout” to finalize the purchase and move to the checkout If you’re registered at Amazon we must, if we are already just enter email and password with which we checked.

The Kindle price is $ 259, but by default in the payment page makes us change to Euros, leaving a price of 181.26 Euros (to date) to which must be added costs 14.68 31.35 for shipping and taxes and fees. A total of 227 leaves us Euros. Though not always change $ – Euros that Amazon is advantageous to us. Referring to the change of the day on the website of my bank I realized that if you pay directly in dollars and I made the switch here saved me over 20 Euros. The currency can change in a small button below the price named “Switch currency.” We can also click on “View exchange rate” to know what kind of change we are implementing.

After the purchase process indicates the estimated date of arrival, in my case 2 to 5 December, some nine days after ordering it.

Saturday, November 28. At 9:30 am I received a surprising call from UPS. The Kindle is going to go through customs and need my full name and ID. They have not passed or two days and already underway.

Tuesday, December 1. At 1000 presents a messenger from UPS with my Kindle. It has taken only four days and a half! The presentation of the Kindle and its packaging is unsurpassed. Comes with USB charging cable and socket. Yes, the plug is American, so if you want to try it quickly and do not have a computer handy you better be prepared with a European plug adapter, which is found at any hardware store or mall for 2-3 euros.

So much for the arrival of the Kindle. In the next post the first comment on configurations that we do to improve its usefulness.
