Yandex, a Russian search engine, is the most visited website in Russia. It has come up with two of its own products: Yandex Browser and a Yandex Mobile App Store.
Yandex Browser
The browser is currently available for desktops and laptops only. We might get a tablet and mobile version in the future but no news on that for now. Built on the Chromium interface, the browser is based on cloud browsing, which according to the CEO Arkady Volozh, is the next generation answer to modern Internet challenges.
Yandex Mobile Application Store
Yandex is also releasing a mobile app store that will be available to all devices running Google's Android. The store will have 40,000 apps at launch and is expected to become available in a month's time. Devices from texet, 3Q and Pocketbook will come preloaded with the Yandex app store. The app will initially be available in Russia only, but the company intents to expand its market to the neighbouring former USSR territory, the countries where Yandex already operates.
Yandex is also negotiating with Apple to get its search engine as default in the Russian territory replacing Google. We can feel the heat and competition with Google.
