NEOWIN - The Russian social network firm, VK, has launched a new app store called RuStore as an alternative to the Google Play Store. The store is part of a campaign by the government for the creation of alternative services so it's not reliant on Western companies. The RuStore is available to Android users from today but due to iOS limits, it probably won't arrive on that platform. At launch, RuStore will ship with a paltry 100 applications and some of these include government services.
