Amazon US is taking its MP3 download store mobile by launching a version of it to be used on Google's new Android mobile phone platform. The news comes as the first phone compatible with Google's mobile operating system - the G1 - went on sale, via T Mobile in the States. The Amazon MP3 mobile app will let users stream thirty second previews of tracks over their mobile connection, though they'll have to use the G1's WiFi functionality to actually download tracks. Downloads will, though, be DRM-free, as is the norm with Amazon's download service. The app will be preloaded onto the G1 device, and is supported by T-Mo, who don't have their own download service in the US.
