Amazon Appstore... Venezia?
In the last hour, the top installed app on AppAware is Amazon Appstore: the highly rumored application-portal developed by Amazon.
Is it under test? We still do not know, but AppAware was able to get it first!
We are looking forward to the next moves of Amazon…
The AppAware team.
UPDATE: Yes, AppAware was right! Here the Amazon Appstore installation file
AppAware working normally again

Google's Nexus S is fully capable of all NFC...
When Google introduced its Nexus S initially the API only allowed to read NFC tags. Just a few days ago this was also extended to also writing data to tags.
However, NFC can do even more. Just recently, Gerald Madlmayr reported about additional capabilities of the underlying hardware also allowing for the tag emulation mode (the phone acts as an NFC tag and can be read from another reader like a...

Some server problems last night...
Last night (UTC +1) AppAware servers encountered some problems and had difficulties in serving the website pages and Android mobile services (in particular Top applications). This morning we solved the issues and now the services are up and running as usual!
Thank you for your understanding!
Even more fragmentation!
“The Android 3.0 platform introduces many new and exciting features for users and developers”, this is what Google says here! To us it looks just as as adding additional fragmentation in the Android ecosystem, thus additional pain for developers. Will Google also offer a 2x zoom as Apple did for the iPad and iPhone apps?
Installation behavior vs. User ratings of apps
We’ve compared the installation behavior of users traced by appaware with user ratings of apps on the market. Whereas only 1%-5% of users of an app release a rating, tracing events of the 55k Android users can yield more accurate ratings, also not being skewed 3.5 as ratings on the Android market.
A first glance on the results in the prezi below:
