And also. Remember that Apple is pushing to take a big hunk out of in-app purchases. Why depend on another company that wants to take a share of your money when you are big and powerful enough to do it yourself?

With Amazon's appstore, they make money on apps from other people (like Amazon and Google). That's surely the position Amazon wants to be in. A marketplace for others. Not a seller conforming to other's rules and giving part of your profits to someone else.

Imagine that, an Amazon marketplace where they are the provider of service and multiple vendors sell, and Amazon makes a profit on it all. Man, where have we heard of that?
