Thanks for your input folks.
[the amazon market] doesn't sound like something I want to go through until
their sales
increase dramatically!
In addition to the upcoming kindle, AT&T has recently changed their
policy on allowing other software sources for installs. This will
first be applied with the Samsung Infuse getting released next week.
Considering their current "Android-centric" push, there could be a
bump in Amazon sales from AT&T users. I don't know if they have any
plans to push a firmware update to existing phones to enable other
software sources or not. Even still, it will probably take some
significant widespread discounts on the Amazon market to get people
buying over there regularly if the same options are available already
direct form Google...
Amazon either needs to offer some heavy developer incentives for
hosting diversified/uniqe aplications and eatures or else start giving
buyers special discounts or rebates to use elsewhere on the amazon
storefront.
Their claim is that they can effectively "market" the product whereas
that's "self serve" on the Android Market. My problem with that is my
stuff is niche and you have to know the field use it. It will be
interesting to see how they're going to market or even test my apps if
they don't have people who understand it. :-D
