GetJar Gold challenges the Amazon Appstore, discounts a whole catalog of premium apps to free

Initially, GetJar Gold gets rolled out with 50 apps accounting for a total value of nearly $60, which are all offered for free. Titles include Fruit Ninja THD, Age of Zombies, Solo and others. The catalog is to be updated with new entries , chief executive of GetJar Ilja Laurs noted. The CEO also teases a nearly closed deal with a big name among app makers, but it’s anyone’s guess which company is it.
Developers who want to submit their apps have to agree to an App Store-like policy ruling a 30% cut for GetJar Gold. Interestingly, developers themselves are encouraged to promote their apps by bidding how much they would pay per install and the higher the offer, the more users will notice their titles. With so many free titles Amazon seems like an app haven, but are free applications the only reason we need third-party app stores?

They can offer apps that developers just want to test drive, they can let you get paid apps for cheaper to free as a gift from the devs, they can also sometimes have better security as some scan the apps for viruses! And a little competition is always good.
