And of course, Apple is right there to sue them:
Apple sues Amazon.com over APP STORE trademark - Yahoo! News

Too bad Apple doesn't even own that trademark yet.

I have the new app store downloaded and bought a couple apps from it. I am an Amazon junkie/fan anyway, so this app store is great for me. It's just like shopping on the website. I can totally see myself using this more than the Android market.

What would you it call other than App Store? Amazon's Digital Store for Tablet Applications?

While I'm certain a marketing department can come up with another catchy name, I don't think Apple has a legitimate claim to the term "App Store", so I don't think they'd need to come up with one. I'm watching that case closely though...

There's about twelve of these officially named "app stores". Strange move from Apple, considering they've just been ordered to answer on an anti-trust case.

Speaking of Android YouTube - Android on crack..lol

App Store (the name) is used on many mobile and smart phone platforms... maybe Amazon should get Saurik to name their store

Hah, that sucks. You can probably side load the APK though and get it.

Yeah, I've been meaning to make my phone a little more "accessible." Perhaps I'll wander over to XDA-developers tonight and see what's going on.
