Amazon just revealed its own specially curated version of the Android Marketplace, but has chosen to label it the "Appstore."

We all know Angry Birds has been downloaded loads of times. My personal estimate was somewhere around a million-kabillion, but developer Rovio's latest figures put me off by just a few.

I have always wondered that how many sales a developer need to make on the App store to become a millionaire? InstantShift Wix has the answer to that question in brilliantly designed infographic.
