Amazon’s Appstore prepares for international availability in ‘nearly 200 countries’

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.

First ‘express’ flight to the International Space Station cuts travel time from two days to six hours

429387main_s130e012141_hi_large

Usually, trips from the earth to the International Area Station take about two days– however today, the first manned “specific” air travel to the ISS removed and anticipates to make the journey in only 6 hours. The air travel, manned by one NASA astronaut and two Russian cosmonauts, removed today at 4:43 PM EDT from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan; it’s anticipated to dock by 12:10 AM EDT tonight. While this is the first manned flight to make this specific flight (where the Soyuz spacecraft makes 4 orbits of the earth prior to reaching the ISS), a variety of unmanned cargo air travels have currently made the fast journey.

Jawbone’s Up fitness band adds Android support and greater international availability

Jawbone_android_large

When we reviewed Jawbone’s overhauled Up fitness band in November we found a lot to like, especially its ability to accurately track our sleep and wake us up feeling refreshed in the morning, but we had to knock it for being iOS-only. That changes today, with the announcement of a Jawbone Up app for Android. The software is free to download from Google Play and gives Android-owning Up wearers the same fitness-tracking functionality as their iOS comrades-in-arms.

At the same time, Jawbone is announcing that the Up is going on sale internationally, launching immediately in Europe, with Asia, Australia, and The Middle East to follow in April. With this addition of 25 more countries, coupled with recent acquisitions of Visere and…

Google announces international Chromebook rollout to Australia, Germany, and more

Dsc_3231-875_large

Google has been putting some weight behind its Chromebook line lately, and now it’s making them available to a lot more potential customers. The company is announcing that Chromebooks from Acer, HP, and Samsung will now be available in a number of new countries: Australia, Canada, Germany, Ireland, France, and the Netherlands. Those in the United States will also find it a little easier to pick up a Chrome OS machine, as Best Buy will begin carrying Chromebooks in every location that sells computers. According to Google, that will double the number of US stores that carry the Chromebook line in the US. Whether increased availability will help the computers gain a toehold in the market, however, is another question entirely.
