Amazon Appstore allows you to try apps before you buy them

Amazon Appstore allows you to try apps before you buy them
The Amazon Appstore has made quite a splash, by far, as Apple itself might have contributed to the fuss with its law suit over the name of the store, but this might have made you miss one of the most important features of the Amazon Appstore – the Test Drive option.

Okay, maybe the free daily app sounds more exciting, but what if you knew that the test drive option allows you to browse the real version of an application using a virtual machine running a full-fledged version of Android. This means that you're not limited to just some of the functionality of the application, but you actually get a lot more context by virtually running the app on an Android machine in the cloud. For the time being, the option just as the Amazon Appstore itself, is limited to U.S. customers. Some of the apps on that store might mimic the ones on the original Market, but it seems there is a good deal of unique apps. So why don't you give it a spin – all you need is an Amazon account.
