subject: New Independent App Store, AndSpot Enters Fray to take over the market, Google [print this page] Back when I was a kid, I liked to watch WWE Royal Rumble, with every major player in the group will be at each other. It seems that we can have the same kind of situation is in the Android App world, as another independent App Store, which appeared, this time in the form of AndSpot Market . From reading the motto Welcome to the Android Marketplace alternative, it is obvious they are trying to position themselves as a better alternative for a bit convoluted official Google Android Market takes users now. In a Wired article on , co-founder Kheramand Ash says:
Google S Android Market is slow and not as user friendly because it can be, do not you? T leave the market, thinking this is great. And do not you think it is slow, close, and if youre a programmer, my program does a lot of exposure.
I hate to say it, but I have to agree with him, market is a difficult place to work now for developers and users, which does not encourage development at all. Android Army has long been calling for a revolutionary change in how the market remained and searched. We saw some good things on the way from Froyo gingerbread and announcements, but this time, we see places AndSpot pop up to fill the void and take the challenge of creating a drunk Android Market.
AndSpot is not the first independent market is released. Android users can also go to places and AndAppStore SlideME and benefit from services such as AppBrain that integrate with the official market.
Good news, from all this is that while there may be problems with the official market, we are not locked in by our partners like Apple, you can install applications from external sources. Again, the power of Androids openness shines in the darkness as the lantern of hope!
Users can sign up for private beta AndSpot, even though you agreed to a NDA(non-disclosure agreements), and then wait for an e-mail approval. When I tried to create it, told me that due to overwhelming response, it may be awhile. Go check it yourself.
