In an attempt to captialize on the expanding mobile economy in China, Amazon has launched its Android Appstore in the country. The company launched its app marketplace quietly, separating it from the list of 200 countries — including Australia, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, India, South Africa, and South Korea — which will launch in "the coming months." While it offers both free and paid apps, Amazon's foray into the Chinese app market sees it become the first western company to offer paid Android apps, giving it a significant boost over its rival Google.
