Appstore when Amazon released last week, we have ignored a detail which seemed fine. Today, we tend to say that Test Drive can be the most important part of Amazon's announcement that day. Basically, Test Drive allows U.S. customers to make applications for a ride on Amazon.com, with all the comfort that their desktop browser provides proven - rather than sitting with a model based on the Flash application is Amazon gives you a taste of clouds in good faith with a virtual machine Android.

Clicking the "Test drive now" button launches a copy of this app on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), a web service that provides on-demand compute capacity in the cloud for developers. When you click on the simulated phone using your mouse, we send those inputs over the Internet to the app running on Amazon EC2 - just like your mobile device would send a finger tap to the app. Our servers then send the video and audio output from the app back to your computer. All this happens in real time, allowing you to explore the features of the app as if it were running on your mobile device.
Today, Amazon Test Drive is basically just Gaika for mobile phones - its purpose is simply to sell applications, nothing more. But think about this for a second: if you could access your data smartphone, instead of the blank slate for most Amazon gives here?
