Samsung has announced that starting July 1, Samsung Apps will be renamed to Samsung Galaxy Apps. The move comes right on the heels of the launch of Samsung's first Tizen phone, and is a clear sign that the company is looking at differentiating its app stores based on the operating system (and would explain why Samsung trademarked Gear Store, which will likely be an app store for its Gear wearables), making it easier for users to understand whether a particular app store is designed for Galaxy-branded devices or for devices powered by Tizen. As one would expect, users will still be able to download their purchased apps and continue using the store as they were earlier.
