Google (
GOOGL, Tech30) is typically lax about the kind of apps that live in its app store, avoiding the standoffs with app developers that Apple (
AAPL, Tech30) is so well known for.
But Amazon's addition of its own app store within its main Android app appears to have ruffled Google's feathers.
In September, Amazon (
AMZN, Tech30)
began allowing customers to download apps from within its Android
application. Essentially what Amazon was trying to do was infiltrate the
Google Play store with its own app store. That's a no-no in Google's
playbook.
Normally, Google makes customers jump through hoops in order to install apps from rival app stores.
Amazon's workaround -- by including its app store from within its own
app -- led Google to pull Amazon's app from its Play Store search
listings.
