Amazon will give developers $5,000 in Amazon Coins for every paid app for the new Fire Phone that meets Amazon’s standards. Each developer can reap the rewards for as many as three apps. Qualifying apps with in-app purchasing can count, too, according to a blog post today from Amazon developer evangelist David Isbitski. Apple has decided to do one better than Amazon and offer developers $6,000...and pigs will fly! just kidding.. LOL More more info, see this link: http://venturebeat.com/2014/06/20/amazon-fire-phone-apps-subsidy/

The funny blogger wrote, "Amazon Coins are redeemable for games, apps, and in-app purchases on Amazon devices, including Kindles and the Fire Phone… and, presumably, Fire TV. You can also spend them on Android apps and games." He then summarized with this quip: -- "So basically, it’s more fake Internet money." Warning to those who thinks this is easy money. Be prepared to learn how to implement Amazon's API to meet their requirements: "Developers have to meet several standards to get the credits. For instance, apps need to contain a widget with Amazon’s Home application programming interface (API) that will show information when the app appears in the Fire Phone’s carousel. And game apps have to use the Dynamic Perspective software-development kit (SDK) that can take input from the location of the person using the Fire Phone in relation to the phone." Power to those with the Amazon Coins, may they never tarnish! Thanks for sharing, Derval! :-) -- Niraj
