Downloads from Amazon's app store have risen 500% Y-o-Y

"Amazon’s App Store is becoming more popular and is in high demand these days. Amazon is striving hard to become a strong competitor in the Android tablet game, and a big part of that is the success and achievement of its own Appstore. The company made an announcement in a press release about a new developer product, that the downloads from its mobile app store have increased by a massive 500 percent in the last year. This shockingly huge number has put it into discussion. However, Amazon didn’t quantify an exact figure on the number of applications downloaded, as the company is intentionally vague about sales and usage numbers."
