Just when we thought we heard enough about carriers creating their own Android App Stores, WSJ claims to have a document from Amazon which confirms their intent on releasing an Amazon App Store.

The document makes a couple of points which developers need to keep a focus on however. Firstly, Amazon will beat any app price sold elsewhere, and secondly, the app cannot have been on offer anywhere else for more than 2 weeks before being given to Amazon.

Do you think Amazon is planning on releasing an Android tablet? It would make sense. Why else would you want your own Android App Store unless you were planning on launching hardware to pre-install it on? Let us know what you think they’re up to in the comments.

OS Enterprise Activation chart

Another report released shows Android as the 2nd most used enterprise OS in mobile devices behind Apple’s iOS. Good Technology, leader in multiplatform enterprise mobility, has released its first quarterly report for Q3 2010 based on data it has collected from thousands of Good’s customers.

This data demonstrates a shift seen in the enterprise mobile markets where adoption of tablets and handhelds is in high demand from end users in the work place.

Although iPhone 4 and iPad dominated new activations since July 2010, the Droid X was also found to be the most activated Android device in the enterprise market since September.

Enterprise Platform Share:

  • Apple iOS devices represented more than 50 percent of net new activations from June through September, 2010
  • Android devices represented nearly 30 percent of net new activations over that period
  • Windows Mobile devices represented 15 percent of net new activations over that period

Sony shows off first 16.41 megapixel cellphone sensor camera

I know that, when I take a picture, I expect to be able to see every colony of bacteria living in each pore of my friend’s nose. You do, too? Well, that’s great, because Sony has just outed a new product: a 16.41 megapixel cellphone sensor. According to engadget:

The 1/2.8-inch back-illuminated Exmor R model IMX081PQ sensor packs an industry smallest 1.12μm unit cell size and is capable of shooting 1080p at 30fps or 720p at 60fps.

Samsung has stated that they were able to solve some issues related to the pixel sizes by “implementing a unique formation of photo diodes to achieve a sensor with high resolution, high sensitivity, and low noise”.

The unit should start sampling at about $30 in January 2011 straight out, or about $145 when combined with a 10.5 x 10.5 x 7.9 mm IU081F autofocus lens module said to be coming in March. There will also be a 1/3.2-inch 8.13 megapixel IMX105PQ sensor with IU105F2 lens module (pictured on the right above) in April for a substantially lower price tag.
