According to Reuters, Apple’s spokeswoman said that they no longer see a need to pursue our case. She added that they have already 900,000 apps and 50 billion downloads, so the customers know where the popular application market is. Amazon said in a statement that they were ratified that the court has conclusively dismissed this case.
