And Goggle-Amazon would steal less of his money... Think of an analogy: would you prefer to have your pizza shop on a quiet street on the outside of town, or on the busiest commercial avenue in town? Yes, the rent will be higher, but you will sell a whole bunch more pizzas! In the retail business, it is all about exposure and traffic. And in return for its fees, the app store provides payment / refund processing, user authentication, customer statistics, 24x7 availability, advertising / promotion, and other services needed to help a growing small business protect itself from being overwhelmed by administrative tasks. (see the following post by rdodolak for a good example). | | | Thanks for your support. Free Plugins available here. Advanced plugins available here. Hey, new product!!!

Rory Amazon must be a bit slow. Quoting Amazon mobile app distribution: Quote: Our goal is for customers to have a good experience with every app they acquire from Amazon. As a result, we may test the apps you submit prior to making them available to verify that each app works as outlined in your product description, does not impair the functionality of the mobile device or put customer data at risk once installed, and complies with the terms of the Amazon Mobile App Distribution Program Agreement and our Content Guidelines. For clarity, our intent is not to be prescriptive in terms of what constitutes good app design. Amazon is a big believer in innovation, and we hope to feature many creative and innovative apps.
When you submit an app in the Amazon Mobile App Distribution Portal, we will start the app review process. You can track the approval status of your app at any time by signing in to the Distribution Portal and finding your app in the Dashboard on the homepage. If we have a question about your app during the review process or determine it does not meet one of Amazon’s acceptance criteria, we will notify you using the e-mail address associated with your account and provide guidance on next steps. We will also notify you once your app successfully completes the testing process. At that point, your app will be made available to publish and merchandize on Amazon Apps. |

Ken, can you tell us how it's getting along then... at least if we knew whether we are talking "Monday" or "Amazon have problems with the App and it needs updating before they're happy" we could be better prepared for the wait. | | | It is dangerous to be right in matters where established men are wrong |

| Posted: | | | | We've rolled necessary changes for Amazon into the 1.0.1 release. It has been submitted again today. The good news is that 1.0.1 also includes other fixes and performance improvements, including a big speed improvement for downloading collections from online.
I'll keep you posted. | | | Invelos Software, Inc. Representative |
