In a move that will certainly add more apps to its forked Android Appstore, Amazon is now accepting self-contained Web apps in its application marketplace. Developers can now submit HTML5 Web apps that are not tied to a hosted Web site. Most Web apps serve as wrappers that point to an established site.

HTC is no longer developing apps exclusively for its own handsets. Today, the smartphone maker launched a standalone Zoe app that anyone running Android 4.4 or higher on a Samsung, LG or HTC smartphone can download and enjoy.
