One of the biggest competitors to Google Android Market is the controversially named Amazon Appstore. One of the main reasons for its popularity has been the free app that Amazon gives away everyday to users.

Unfortunately, so far the service has been limited to residents of the US. But not anymore, because it seems now the Appstore is expanding its reach to a wider customer base. You will now be able to access the store from Europe, Australia as well as India. And although that still leaves out a lot of countries, its still better than being US-only.

If end users can have their app stores, Appcelerator thinks this is the untapped market and has decided to do something about it. They used the CODESTRONG Developer Conference to launch its Open Mobile Marketplace, allowing ISVs and cloud providers to sell software and solutions across multiple mobile operating systems on Appcelerator Titanium platform. The potential for companies is pretty big, considering Appcelerator developer community counts more than 1.5 million members.

The new marketplace is launched with 50 leading mobile solutions, including PayPal, Salesforce, Millennial Media, AdMob, Box.net, Bump, DoubleClick, Greystripe, Omniture (Adobe), Scanbuy, Twilio and Urban Airship; and a full gaming platform with such modules as Gamekit, OpenGL (graphics) and Box2D (physics).

WebOS is dead, but some poeple want to keep it alive and CardSwitcher is one who started. For those of you who has a jailbroken iPhone (4.1 or higher), CardSwitcher offers WebOS visual multitasking in all its glory amd its famous UI for onyl 1.99 USD.
