People won't need to visit it. Amazon just need to make deals with some of the bigger manufactures to provide it as part of their android releases and bingo - Instant market. This is quite likely given how restrictive google can be about allowing the market place on certain devices (i.e. no media players).
Other "major" players also launching app stores has got to be good news - if for no other reason than a monopoly is never a good idea, so it'll force Google to up their game. I'd especially welcome an Amazon App Store if they're going to "certify" the apps contained therein, rather than pilin'-'em-high-and-sellin'-'em-cheap which I suspect will be the case.Who says you have to buy your apps from Google?
There is apparently an Android Developers Union now, which has made seven demands and is threatening to develop for other platforms if they're not met.
Seriously, wtf! It says use an HTML5 browser, but Chrome keeps giving me the "Aw snap" error page - when I scroll the page! Which makes me wonder if this isn't a (very rarified) joke. (I'm also deeply suspicious because the icon used looks suspiciously like an Apple Mac one).
And apart from that, some of what they're saying (like a "a Web or Desktop based interface to the Market") is already there - heck I was using the web interface this morning!
If there's some major developers behind this then I'll sit up and listen, otherwise it's just noise...
