Amazon Appstore's probably the next-biggest market for English speakers.

Anything for Latin, Asian (non-english), Russian folks?

Yandex? Opera (the browser people) also do an appstore for a bunch of non-English markets I think.

For Latin America I think the Play store is the only good option, I know heaps of android users here in Costa Rica that only use that.

What are you not getting from Google Play, that you would like from your alternate or additional distribution channels?

The recent manual evaluation of apps have suddenly become a bit too restrictive in what can be done.

Opensource: F-Droid

Another one I know is SlideME.
