Lenovo axes Android App Shop, points you in the direction of Google Play

[ ](http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/20/lenovo-axes-app-shop/)

Business-types, [Lenovo](http://www.engadget.com/tag/lenovo/) pondered, needed their own App <strike>Store</strike> Shop, dedicated to selling [business-only applications](http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/28/lenovo-android-enterprise-app-shop/) to those strutting around looking serious in their polyester suits. It seems that such demand never materialized, however, with the company shuttering the outlet only six months after its launch and pointing users in the direction of [Google Play](http://www.engadget.com/tag/google+play/) instead. While the bulk of the apps purchased in that time will still work around 90 that used the store's license management system will cease to function on November 2nd, a list of which you can find at the source link.
