Tabloids have revealed that the launch of Amazon App Store has been scheduled for Mar. 22. But, AT&T Android phone owners may have to wait even longer.

The Amazon App Store will include both Amazon website as well as a dedicated app.

It is being anticipated that while the Amazon App store may become popular soon after the launch, it will also face problems. This is because companies like AT&T are authorized to block apps, which don’t come from Android market.

Thus, the AT&T users will not be able to try the Amazon App store, either from the portal app or web.

It will be the first major Android store in which phone owners will be able to go beyond Android market willingly, for better deals.

No official confirmation regarding Apple’s plan to put on hold the inclusion of NFC technology in the iPhone 5, along with the new talk till the launch of the later phone models, have been received yet.

Apparently, some anonymous sources from the U.K. mobile phone industry have spread the rumors that Apple may not be including Near Field Communication (NFC) support, in the fifth generation iPad.

However, the reason given by Apple to the carriers, for removing the feature from the next iPhone, was the lack of enough standardization in the technology.

In a conversation with The Independent, a source said, “The new iPhone will not have NFC; Apple told the operators it was concerned by the lack of a clear standard across the industry.”
