Motorola has announced that it has opened its own app store in China for Android phones, giving users a chance to download apps for their phones despite Google's decision to pull out of the nation.
The store, called Zhi-Jian-Yuan (Shop4Apps), will be available on February 14th, the Chinese New Year, for Android users in China.
"I see Google and Android as two separate things," said Carolina Milanesi, an analyst for Gartner. "China has always been a key market for Motorola and unless forced to, I doubt they will walk away from it."
