Google's Chrome Web Store is coming......


Google has a plans to open online store and its is named as Chrome Web Store.

Video game website 1up was able to grab some photographs of a presentation Google delivered to a room of game developers at the GDC Europe conference. The presentation showed off the Chrome Web Store, a marketplace for HTML5 apps Google announced during its I/O conference earlier this year.

Unlike Apple’s app store though, Google won’t be taking a 30% cut of revenues generated; in fact, it will only be taking a “processing fee” of around 5%. That could be a major draw for developers who want to keep more of the money their apps earn.

According to the presentation, the Chrome Web Store is launching in October.

Stats by Quantcast is out, Android continues its high performance.

Android's share of U.S. mobile web traffic climbed to 25% in August in its best one month gain since Nov. 2009.

Web statistics company Quantcast published the data, which tracked U.S. mobile web consumption in the month of August, on Friday. Android saw a 2% gain in mobile web market share while all other platforms lost share.

Over the past year, Apple has lost ground to Google, losing 11% of the mobile web consumption market while Google picked up 17% more market share. iOS still maintains a significant lead with 56% of the market, more than twice that of Android, but current growth trends could cause problems for Apple in the near future. If Google can maintain another year of comparable growth, Android will be nearly neck-and-neck with iOS.
