Amazon App now available in Canada [UPDATE - not]

 [UPDATE:  Turns out that it's not working... weird it installed and everything - you just can't download anything - even the free apps.  Back to the land of no-love.]


Okay, a while back I had written about my woes with the Amazon app scenario.

Well, yesterday Amazon announced that the “App Store” (am I allowed to officially call it that? Is the war on that over?) is now available beyond the US.

I’ve downloaded it and put in my credentials [my official ones, not the fake ones we used to try to use with a US address, just so we can get the free apps]. Haven’t seen much difference quite yet. Still a little perturbed that I have to keep the app on if I want to use the apps I get through it [if you uninstall the Amazon app, the other apps go with it].

Anybody using it quite yet? You like it? What advantages do you find over it vs. using the Android Market [besides a paid app for free daily]?

    The AppStore is no longer available in Canada. Seems it was an error Amazon made.
    Oh well!
    But I thought it worked great for the day I used it for the free daily app. :)

      sorry for the confusion everybody – saw it plastered on the net and it let me install the app just fine from the market.  Now the market isn’t showing the appstore anymore.
