There has been a dispute between the two competitors, Apple and Amazon over the phrase "app store". apple is has currently sued Amazon for opening the Android-only App store on its site. There has been recent court filings over this issue and in the latest one Apple argued that Amazon's use of the phrase for its Android "app store" will confuse its costumers that amazon is offering its own storefront for the Apple App store. However, Amazon claimed that the phrase is generic. Apple further argued that the Amazon's services are inferior and that their "inferior services" will damage the Apple's brand image for their consumers.Apple is also afraid that Amazon might also confuse its consumers further by offering its own "App store" for Apple iOS devices.
Further issues that Apple is having with Amazon is that it is offering softwares for Android devices that are "rooted"---the Android equivalent of "Jail-broken" Apple device.
Moreover, Amazon has also intended to target Apple's costumers by launching a new service that would allow the consumers to download softwares for MAC personal computers from Amazon.
so what do you think.... will Android users pick Amazon's app store over Apple's. Why? leave your comments below!
