Heyzap - Anyone heard of them?

I've just been approached by some company called heyzap.com, wanting to distribute my apps. Their website look legit, but that can be faked. Has anyone heard of them, and if so, are they legit or worth going with?

Thanks Fred. As far as I can understand, it's a free service that requires an sdk to be integrated into my app, allowing my app to appear in their marketplace type app. Their app is primarily focused on community social sharing and recommendations, so a decent app should do quite well I imagine. I've done some digging around. Their app has nearly 5m downloads, they're funded with a few million $ and they're reported about in the press quite a bit. Quite exciting considering they contacted me. Haven't discovered their business model yet, perhaps the app is ad supported. Then again, they'll be gathering a lot of user data, and statistics are power and money!

Is your app free? Amazon has issues, such as giving away paid apps (could be a good model) Will your app be distributed from Android Market? If your app is not free how long till you get paid if not distributed via Market?

It's not a BT app :-/ search for 'The Sims Prize Quiz' in the Android marketplace - it's free. It's a proof of concept really and needs to be more polished and refined, but it seems to be quite popular.
