An “Amazon Prime for apps” is probably something that’s been considered for quite some time, and according to a new report the digital retail giant may actually be moving forward with that plan.

Based on a report published recently by TechCrunch, and citing an internal presentation that the publication obtained, Amazon is aiming to launch “Unlocked,” which will be a feature within its Amazon Appstore to offer not only free games and apps, but also offer apps that function with in-app purchases as well. One promotional spot says that with Unlocked, “paid apps and in-app purchasing” is completely free with the feature:

““Introducing Amazon Unlocked for Apps & Games,” the company notes in one promotional spot. “Paid apps and in-app purchasing now completely FREE from Amazon.”“

The report highlights that some big-name developers are apparently going to be included in the new feature, including SEGA America, with its game Sonic Dash, which the report states is mentioned quite a bit in the promotional work. Another game, Monument Valley, is one of the most popular titles as of late, and developer UsTwo is included in the presentation as well.

There are other apps included, like OfficeSuite 8 + PDF Converter, along with Ultimate Guitar Tabs & Chords. Presumably, the list of apps available within Unlocked would grow with time. More to the point, though, with this new feature these apps, along with the purchases within some of them, would be completely free.

Unfortunately, when Unlocked might launch or how much it might cost, is still up in the air as the original report was unable to learn that information. Moreover, developers that were contacted regarding Unlocked informed the publication that they are under NDA, and that no information could be shared.

What do you think of the idea, if it turns out to be accurate?
