Amazon Plans on Launching Mobile Store for Google's Android

comment Commentsprint Printemail EmailDeliciousDiggStumbleUponRedditFacebookSlashdot

We're still a month away from seeing the first mobile phone running Google's Android mobile platform hit the retail sector, but while ordinary folk have to wait patiently, there exists a handful of Google and maybe T-Mobile employees plugging away on the new phone. And it's from spotting one of these pre-release units in the wild that VentureBeat reports that Amazon will have a mobile store in place by the time Android ships.

Speculation suggests that the Amazon music store on Android will most likely be a mobile version of its existing AmzonMP3 online digital music store. Such a move would certainly heat up the competitive juices between T-Mobile's HTC Android phone and Apple's iPhone, and perhaps help Amazon grab some of the marketshare controlled by iTunes.

Let the mobile phone wars begin.

avatarDoes anybody know if this

Does anybody know if this phone will ship with it's own onboard memory in large capacities or is it dependent on how large an Micro SD card you buy? I wish they would build a phone that supports the huge SDHC cards. 4gigs for $17.99 at Radioshack.
