The Amazon Android Market has3 things going for it: - Purchasing from the web rather than a device - Amazon's incredible ability as a merchandise/marketer - they sell a lot of Android phones
I use Amazon for shopping the same way I use Facebook for social networking. It is where I go first. Their user interface, recommendations, and relevance always give me something to check or look at. If the people who purchased phones on Amazon are a bit like me, then this is a good market. Amazon may become my Android browsing experience - wherever I end up buying.
