Amazon's Appstore: You'll Make $0 When We Give Your App Away, And You'll Like It
Apparently Apple isn't the only company running an App Store with a penchant for secrecy.In a blog post this morning, mobile developer Shifty Jelly has publicly called out Amazon for covertly offering the company featured placement on its unofficial Android Appstore as the 'free app of the day'. This is a well-known promotion that Amazon has openly talked about, but there's a twist: instead of paying developers 20% of the app's List Price, which is what it had previously promised, Amazon is asking them to take a 0% rev share.

We would like to include your app "[name removed]" in our Free App of the Day calendar.
