It appears Motorola has been building their own Android Marketplace known as the SHOP4APPS and Android and Me got there to check it out before Moto pulled the plug on it. Its web-based which means it would be accessable from any desktop browser. Its got all the usual free apps and paid apps, but why would Motorola want to have their own Android OS application marketplace?

Here’s a summary of all the features known so far:

Apps Store catalog is accessible via your mobile browser, a mobile client, or Motorola Media Link (MML).

MotoAppstore free Mobile Client. This client allows you to download and install your purchases applications.

MyLocker section – check your download history (name of the application, date of the purchase, version).

The ability to purchase apps from the desktop site, place them in your MyLocker, and then download it using your handset.

Automatic notification alerts when a new version of an app is available.

The ability to re-download and transfer your apps to a new phone.
