# REMINDER: Mobile Portland heads to Ziba for a chat with Amazon about the Appstore

Sorry for the tardy reminder, but I wanted to make sure that you were aware that Mobile Portland will be held tonight. Also of note, instead of Urban Airship hosting, [Ziba will be providing the venue](http://www.ziba.com/#/events/mobile-portland/ "Mobile Portland: Amazon's Appstore Opportunity"), this time.

And Jason Grigsby, founder of Mobile Portland, is [pretty excited about it](http://blog.cloudfour.com/amazon-at-mobile-portland-on-monday/ "Amazon at Mobile Portland on Monday"). Why?

> Basically, I’ve got a nagging suspicion that we should be paying closer attention to the Kindle platform and that Amazon represents a really interesting competitor to Apple, Google and Microsoft. But that on a day-to-day basis, it can be easy to forget or to simply treat it as an after thought to Android development.

And who better to enlighten the Mobile Portland community than [Aaron Rubenson](http://www.linkedin.com/in/aaronrubenson "Aaron Rubenson"), the guy in charge of the Amazon Appstore for Android.

Sound interesting? There’s still time to [RSVP for Mobile Portland](http://mobileportland.com/events/amazons-appstore-opportunity "Amazon's Appstore Opportunity"), tonight.
