Amazon’s Appstore prepares for international availability in ‘nearly 200 countries’
Author: Markus Smith
Amazon has big plans for its incredibly successful (we guess?) Appstore on Android, which include expansion to “nearly 200 countries,” — after rolling out in Europe and Japan — but it’s asking for developers to get on board first. So that its store shelves aren’t empty when they open up in places like Brazil, Canada and Papua New Guinea, it’s securing app submissions and making sure devs opt-in to international distribution. Peter Sleeman, Director of P2 Games, is quoted in the press release claiming his company saw 4-5x sales of a recent app on Kindle Fire compared to Google Play. That feat is echoed by several others quoted, citing Amazon’s in-app purchasing system and features like GameCircle. There’s no word whether this global rollout will be followed by wider distribution of its other media services and branded hardware, but given the predictable path it’s followed so far that seems like a safe bet.

Amazon’s AutoRip now includes vinyl
Author: Ian Simpson
For about as long as we can remember, each new CD we’ve purchased has made a trip to our computer for a good, old fashioned ripping, first thing out of the plastic. So the concept of offering up free MP3s with the purchase of a compact disc always felt a bit superfluous (particularly in these days when fewer and fewer are buying music in a physical form). The increasingly popular concept of offering up downloads with the purchase of a vinyl LP, on the other hand, makes an awful lot of sense — after all, it’s a lot harder for most of us to transfer that music onto our PCs. Amazon’s embracing the concept by extending its AutoRip promotion to records, giving consumers a 256 Kbps cloud-based copy of the music they buy on vinyl. The promotion extends to thousands of titles — anything sporting the AutoRip logo is fair game, including a number of top sellers like Mumford & Sons and the Lumineers. It’s a nice way of supporting the growing boutique vinyl industry and help keep a bit of focus on the album as self-contained work, rather than the move toward singles we’ve been experiencing as a result of the digital music explosion of the past several years.

Amazon’s bookish domain name hunt irks publishing groups, Barnes & Noble
Author: Stefanie Jenkins
Publishers represented by the Authors Guild and Association of American Publishers have filed objections to Amazon’s pursuit of new common top-level domains “. book,” “. author” and “. read. While a few of those gTLDs have already come under fire from whole countries, the prominent book groups told gatekeeper ICANN that “placing such common domains in private hands is plainly anticompetitive,” adding that it would allow “currently dominant, well-capitalized business” to abuse their market power. ICANN plans to designate rights to organizations or business to handle domain suffixes like the current “. com” or “. org” and firms like Google, Microsoft and Amazon have actually sought names like “. app” and “flick,” commonly in competition with each various other. Competitor Barnes & Noble filed its own demonstration, saying that Amazon “would utilize control of these TLDs to suppress competition in the bookselling and publishing sectors.” If such objections are persuasive enough, business can lose not just the domain name in concern, but 20 percent of the $ 185,000 application cost– unquestionably wallet modification for attires like Amazon.

59% Of All Android Tablet Usage Comes From The U.S., Where Amazon’s Kindle Fire Leads The Pack
Author: jos
Android tablets have nearly caught up to iPad devices as the world’s most popular tablet platform, and some project that they may even overtake iPads later this year. According to new research from app analytics company Localytics, the U.S., and specifically Amazon, should take the most credit for that trend: some 59% of all Android tablet usage came from the U.S., with over half of that attributed to Kinde Fire and Fire HD tablets, working out to a 33% share.
The numbers are based on usage of apps with Localytics analysis and marketing data installed on them. Localytics says that in total there are 500 million+ unique devices running that software.
The U.S. is Amazon’s first and main market for the Kindle Fire, with Amazon only rolling out the tablets to other markets towards the end of 2012, around a year after launching in the U.S. Some 89% of Amazon’s tablets “live in America, with most of the rest in Great Britain,” writes Localytics’ Daniel Ruby. “After those two, no other country has even one percent of worldwide Kindle Fires.”
Localytics notes that if Amazon manages to work out its international distribution, then “their U.S. success suggests they could quickly dominate the Android tablet market worldwide.” Indeed, Amazon has stolen a march on traditional competitors like Barnes & Noble, whose Android-based Nook has only 10% of the market in the U.S., and even less than Amazon outside of there.
But today, Amazon is far from a global player with the Fire. In the rest of the world, the Android tablet game is Samsung’s to lose. Ruby tells me that the Korean device maker’s Galaxy line accounts for 76% of all Android tablet usage. Nexus 7 came in second at 15%, and Kindle Fire’s global share shrunk down to just 9%.
Because the Fire is built on a “forked” version of Android, the Google Play app storefront doesn’t appear on it: and that spells an opportunity for Amazon in its push to offer more cloud-based services to developers — something it is doing more by extending payment services and possibly adding in the ability to incorporate a voice API for voice recognition services.
Figures from ABI Research in November 2012 noted that in the last quarter, iPad devices accounted for 55% of sales, while Android tablets accounted for 44%.
