Google looks to Adwords like auctions to fill your Android launchers with default apps and other bloatware

You know those default/pre-installed apps that vendors and carriers put on your new Android phone, tablet or PC. Some of them are to promote their own services, others – push some third-party apps. And when outside software makers are involved - that usually means some money changed hands to get that app in your face. Well, Google wants in on the default pre-loads racket too. It is looking to Adwords like auction process as the means to do it, and already filed a patent application for auction based app placements.

The basic idea is to integrate a bidding system similar to Adwords directly into Android.
