Appstore: What is it?

No need to explain. Right?
Wait. Its bit complicated.

Wikipedia says:
App Store may refer to:
  • App Store (iOS), the official Apple online application distribution system for iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch 
  •  Amazon Appstore, an online application distribution system for Android devices
  •  Mac App Store, the official Apple online application distribution system for Mac OS X
  • A generic term for digital distribution platforms

Whenever I use the word appstore/ App store; it refer to the first point i.e. official Apple iOS App Store.

Amazon has its own store named as Amazon Appstore. But Apple claims that, they cant do this! They feel, 'App Store really means App Store™'.  

Amazon rejects this and claims the last point of Wikipedia (A generic term - I doubt that entry made by some Amazon PR guys!)  It seems, On this issue, Microsoft is helping  Amazon.
