Amazon App's

How strange is it that Amazon has no App store for AWS developers? As I think about it, there’s quite a lot of opportunity there for them. Given my belief that Clouds will have strong network effects, I think it is a mistake for Amazon to go very much longer without an app store.

For Amazon, a full-on App store with billing capabilities would be great for a lot of smaller apps and startups to get going with.

Amazon should have been one of the first non-mobile App stores but I expect they will be in full acquisition mode throughout 2011 and looking at companies such as DreamFactory to get the job done.

Closing Price as of February 4, 2011 - $175.93

2 Year Projection: +189%
