Every one of these companies is guilty of suing over some silly thing... some ridiculous patent, or whatever. This one is pretty bad, but not a big surprise... I can actually almost see a point in it, as they sound the exact same.

In all honesty, it almost seems like they wanted to be sued. Why didn't they call it the App Store instead of Appstore? I don't think it's on accident that we have the Market and BB has the App World.

Ugh... no edit. I'm a dope. Apple is App Store and Amazon is Appstore. I bet that space will be their argument.

Yeah, I didn't think you were trying to start anything.
But I must agree, seems like lately more people are posting some not so friendly replies haha.

This will sound stupid but I was think the Amazon app store wasn't available try. Is it part of the Amazon app or a separate one?

I'm not sure Apple has anything since Amazon made up a noun "Appstore" before they thought of it. :D

i would like to know this as well. i have seen that the free angry birds rio game that comes with the amazon app store is unplayable if you remove the amazon store after you download rio. luckily enough, people have already cracked it ;)

or rather, is there a tech company out there not suing or being sued for patents? :)
