Amazon have started to add 'Test Drive' functionality to their mobile Appstore application for Android.

Announced in the changelog for version 2.6.53 of the application released this morning, Test Drive is apparently available 'on select Android phones and for a limited selection of apps'. Unfortunately, i've been unable to find a suitable app on any of my devices yet to try it out! :(

The mobile functionality follows on from the virtual machine based web test drive that has been available on the Amazon website for some time and could potentially address one of the key complaints with the Google Play Store - the limited time window for trying out applications. Who knows, maybe it will even prompt Google to fix this problem in their own store... *crosses fingers*

You can download the latest Amazon Appstore client directly from Amazon or use the in app update functionality if you already have it installed. Let us know if you find any apps with working test drives!
