The Amazon Appstore turns one year old today and the etailer offers you to celebrate too by slashing the prices on a bunch of the most popular apps.
Amazon also released some interesting details about the Appstore growth. It all started last year with 4,000 apps and lawsuits from Apple, and today things are quiet and thriving at the Appstore which can brag about having over 31,000 applications.

- TuneIn Radio Pro

The discount plan is a bit tricky - first, today Plants vs Zombies goes for 67% off to $0.99. Tomorrow, two apps will go on sale, on the third day three apps will be discounted and so on.
But that’s not all, folks - Amazon is also giving away eight Kindle Fire tablets for free in sweepstakes by March 31st.
Here are the rest of the statistics Amazon shared:
