Yesterday at CES that's currently taking place in Las Vegas Lenovo announced its first Android phone - LePhone. It's a nifty phone but that's not what I'm going to talk about. As I figured out Lenovo is working on its own Android AppStore.
The phone is originally bound for China and Android Market is not accessible in that country. Understandably there needs to be an app distribution channel for the platform to be successful. However as far as I can tell there are other efforts in this direction by other Chinese companies. Barring the obvious option of Android Market as the preferred distribution mechanism, both consumers and developers want a single application distribution channel, at least per country.
Hopefully Lenovo realizes what they are up to.
