Amazon.com Dangles $5000 In Coins For Fire Phone App Developers

Amazon.com is hoping to persuade developers to develop apps that specifically work with its new Amazon Fire Phone, by offering $5,000 in Amazon Coins for each app--for up to 3 apps per developer--to develops apps which use Amazon.com's currency. Amazon told developers that it will give 500,000 Amazon Coins to both paid apps or apps with in-app purchasing, which also meet a few other program requirements. Amazon launched its new, Android based phone this week, its first entree into the smartphone market.
