When Amazon’s Appstore initially appeared on the Android scene last year , one of its most innovative features was a Test Drive virtual machine that let users try out apps for free from their desktop, and now that technology has come back to the handset. In the newest update pushed today and pictured above, release-2.6.53 adds beta support for the cloud-based Test Drive feature to let users try out new software within the Appstore app itself. According to the description the feature is enabled on “select” Android phones and apps, although we didn’t find any to try it out with on our Galaxy S II. . . . → Read More: Amazon Appstore’s Test Drive try before you buy feature now available on Android phones

Image intro.jpg

INTRO , the ambient location app whose claim-to-fame is how  it’s angling to become the “LinkedIn” of the social/local people-stalking space , is now increasing its business-oriented focus.
