Indeed that can work for some, at the expense of a bloated APK (ZXing
is about twice as large as my app, so it would likely triple my APK
size), and at the expense of updates to ZXing not automatically
becoming available to your users until you release your own update

I agree with Phil, pricing is a key issue.
Furthermore, unless Amazon can get their app pre-installed onto devices,
then it's going to be limited. After all, not many people will know to go
to the Market app to download another market app.
Also, I hope they don't make the mistake Apple just

What exaclty is the problem?
I welcome them for 2 primary reasons.
a) The Google Market is a mess of crap. Really brings thigns down for

My app got rejected by Amazon Appstore today because it searches for a
third-party app (the well-known free ZXing barcode reader) on Android
Market if the user tries to launch it from my app and it is not
installed. The barcode reader acts as a functional extension to my
