The G1 already has the Amazon MP3 store built in. So, I’d be very surprised if these are actually going to be exclusive deals.

Plus, I don’t see why Amazon would make a “Kindle for Android” … and then not make it available to all of the Android customers.

Though, I’m biased … I’d be rather disappointed to not be able to run “Kindle for Android” on my Notion Ink Adam :-}

Comment on Wanted: Google’s Marketplace. by Chippy

Hi Al.
Yes, we as consumers have to live with the choices google makes but OEMs need a trusted app store with monetisation to compelte their platforms. Without it they lose which, in turn, means the customers lose.
It also means that Google and alternative app stores could lose as other platforms move in to fill the real gap.

People can talk about fragmentation but that’s already happened. Developers actually have zero option for monetisation in the emerging tablet and mid market right now so it’s almost the opposite of fragmentation!

Thoughts?

Steve.

Google have requirements for devices that will be allowed to run Market to ensure that developers know what to expect.

Alternatives like AndAppStore try to fill the gap, but need developer support to do so. Some OEMs even use the AndAppStore client whilst their thrashing out an agreement with Google.

Google is caught between the devil and the deep blue sea here, if they allow market on anything they’ll see more talk of fragmentation killing Android, if they keep the restrictions they see people claiming Android adoption is being hampered by devices without the full Google experience.

In the end they had to make a call, and we have to live with the one they made.
