Posted: 15 Mar 2012 09:29 AM PDT  Amazon is celebrating the first anniversary of their Android app distribution model, Appstore for Android. Starting today and running for a week, Amazon will be offering up some pretty terrific deals on apps and games for Android. For instance, today sees Plants vs. Zombies going for 99¢, a savings of 67% off the normal cost. Day two will see a pair of new promotions and day three will be a trio of apps, and so on and so on. In addition to a bunch of discounted applications and games, Amazon is also giving away eight Kindle Fire tablets. The sweepstakes runs through the end of the month and all the details can be found on www.amazon.com/appstorebirthday. Finally, Amazon has released a list of the top-selling and most-downloaded applications from the Appstore over the last twelve months. While many of the titles we see here reflect the Android Market's popular apps, Amazon will occasionally shave a decent percentage off the games or applications. If you're in the market for one of these paid apps then we suggest checking Amazon Appstore first to see if it's on sale. Top Paid Apps (over the last 12 months)
