Amazon Appstore for Android is now live! Ever since we cleared the last stage at the St. Patrick’s Day update to the Angry Birds Seasons, we desperately waited for this moment. Yup, Angry Birds Rio is, as promised, available for download. The bad news is that you have to be a U.S. resident to access the store, but if that’s not the problem – go for it. The game is free to download, but that will change starting from tomorrow – so you better hurry.
As part of its efforts to get people to use their app store, Amazon promised to serve one usually-paid app for free each day. I doubt this practice will last forever, but for the time being you should take advantage of the online retailer’s neat offering.
Expect the standard awesome Amazon shopping experience with your Android app purchases. There are around 3,800 apps included at the moment, which you can download either using a dedicated mobile app or through a web interface. The latter includes a 30-minute Test Drive facility, from where you can try out an app before purchasing. Not sure how it works, but it does sound cool.
What are you waiting for – here’s a link to the Amazon’s Appstore. Bookmark it now!

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
