PopCap signs Amazon Android Appstore deal; Chuzzle, PvZ available this month

by Alexander Sliwinski on May 16th 2011 12:30PM

PopCaps's Chuzzle and Plants vs. Zombies will launch for Android devices exclusively through Amazon's Appstore for Android. Amazon will have a two-week exclusive on both titles for the "U.S. market."

Chuzzle will be available tomorrow, May 17, through May 30 and Plants vs. Zombies will shamble in "during a second exclusive offer later this month." Both games will be free on the first day of availability and $2.99 after.

PopCap's announcement is missing a lot of details about the timetable for the exclusives. We're currently following up and asking if a similar approach is planned for the company's future Android titles.

i want that as my wallpaper

And AT&T is finally going to allow third-party Apps on my Inspire 4G starting today. Good. Timing.

@ilduce620

Seriously? I have an Inspire as well.

@NinjaJesus Well, Android Central is reporting it, at least. That said, I don't have an update yet, so until it's actually on my phone and working, I'll be hard pressed to fully believe it. But, this is promising news!

Ah, okay. Yeah i read that already...from what I'm hearing it may take days/weeks for everyone to get it. I'm curious to see if it's just for Amazon or are they going to let us install all 3rd party apps.

Apparently the Amazon Appstore is for you Americans only. Bah humbug.

finally i can plant vs zombie on my phone.

guess i'll be waiting two weeks

cough *UK* cough cough

God damn Chuzzles. Always chuzzing.

I'm sorry but Google's "open" Android platform drives me crazy. There should be one app store where I can get everything. it shouldn't limit certain apps to certain carriers, certain companies, etc. This is just confusing for the consumer.

@ShadowXOR

But there is. This is just Amazon doing it's own thing and being awesome. Google doesn't condone it, (the Appstore app is certainly not available in the marketplace for obvious reasons), but their OS is gracious enough to allow the freedom for it to happen. That I applaud.

but... Peggle. where is Peggle? i need Peggle. DAMN YOU POPCAP GIVE ME PEGGLE!!

Finally PvZ on Android. And free on first day? Huzzah!

I love the fact that I can get apps from multiple different places. Especially since amazon doesn't allow foreign currency, its only is the U.S. Dollar.

I can actually shop around for an app, which is also awesome. I'm not tied down to one marketplace.

Happy to see PvZ is coming, been waiting a while for it to be released.

I didn't need employment anyway.

/waves bye to productivity

Bejeweled 3, please.

Welcome to 2 years ago.

This is a nice grab for AMAZON...their Android App store has been killing. The Free Apps they have offered every day since launch are actually titles you would pay money for......and their interface is more organized than the Android Marketplace.

Even though PopCap's Flash Versions of their game are fully playable on the XOOM.....the load times are a bit long.

Loving it even more since the Honeycomb 3.1 Update and the Flash 10.3 update......

SCREW the iPAD
