Subject: Casey flies to the Amazon

I read an article recently that said developers who submit apps to 
Amazon's Android app store make more money than the same apps submitted 
to the Android Market. So I thought, what the hey, and submitted Casey's 
Solitaire on Friday.

Submitting to Amazon is very easy if you've already got Android Market 
materials ready (or vice versa.) They ask for exactly the same types and 
sizes of images with only two exceptions: the "promo" image and icon 
both differ slightly in size between the two stores. But all the screen 
shots, display icon, descriptions, developer data, etc. are identical so 
all you need to do is prepare everything once. Amazon accepts less text 
than the Market so I had to trim the description a little (I took out 
all the hollering. Casey never listens to me anyway.)

I had read it takes a long time to get reviewed and was prepared to wait 
2 weeks or more (they vet apps like Apple does) but it was accepted 
today and showed up immediately online. I was afraid there might be 
issues because Amazon wraps each app with their own protection code but 
it sailed through without a hitch.

Another win for LiveCode, another market for us.
