Oh, I was being ignorant towards the tablets.
That could work.

The controles are pretty smooth, D-pad and start/select on the left, A+B on the right.FFLink wrote:

Amazon’s Android App Store Launches: Test Drive Apps Directly From Your Browser
Amazon will let you ‘Test Drive’ nearly any Android application in the App Store directly from your browser using some very interesting technology. Click the ‘Test Drive’ button, and Amazon will launch an emulated instance of Android on its EC2 cloud, which you’ll be able to control directly from your browser (it uses Flash). Some features won’t work right now (like functions that take advantage of the phone’s accelerometer) but you should be able to at least get the gist of what you’re buying. Amazon was unable to give me early access to this prior to today’s launch, but I’ll update with my impressions as soon as I get to try it out.

lolomg at the last lineThe App Store is a bold move on Amazon’s part because it’s going head-to-head with Google’s official Android Marketplace — and it may actually provide some serious competition. Unlike Android Market, which has a very open submission process, Amazon will be screening every application to ensure that it meets a certain standard of quality (it isn’t a high bar, but at least you’ll be assured the app won’t crash at launch). Amazon will also be undercutting Google’s marketplace on pricing. And it’s going to be recommending applications to users — even when you’re browsing physical goods on Amazon (if you’re checking out a baseball bat, it might recommend a baseball game for your phone).
Of course, while you can access Amazon’s App Store from both its website and a mobile application, it isn’t coming pre-installed on most Android phones the way Market is, so it’s going to take a while to gain traction. But that will likely change. Expect Amazon to work out deals with carriers to come preloaded on phones. And my hunch is that the store will become very important for various splintered versions of Android that aren’t backed by Google, not the least of which could come from Facebook.
Oh, and just in time for the launch, Apple is suing Amazon over its use of the name ‘App Store’.

yeah really, people fighting over air
hmm.. i dont think the amazon app store is fully functioning right now. I keep clicking on links and it redirects me to the amazon home page.
Xbone Stormsurgezz
umm yea.. I cant even get there now without using my cached page..
maybe it leaked early?

Perhaps it's only accessible from certain regions at the moment?
everything i write is a ramble and should not be taken seriously.... seriously. ♥
But I was able to access it.. now I can't. With the very same link.CapnNismo wrote:

I have the amazon appstore app installed.

Very odd... you're in the US, aren't you? Not sure why you would have a problem accessing it... Google it, I guess.
Day one.. I am sure it will resolve. I was interested in "test driving" some apps via my browser.

Working for me. Got Angry Birds RIO on my EVO.

That's how I started out.
once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.
Tiger GBA emulator has made me a happy camper... Could never imagine doing any of this on a stock iPhone.
I'm struggling with this HTC HD thingy. How do I get the background pic to stay one and the same on every slide? I don't like it when the background img moves from side to side. I want my precious team logo to stay completely visible all the time. And the phone eats battery like a mofo. Will it help if I disable all those weather thingys and junk?
Not sure that's possible with the stock Android. Try installing a launcher app of some kind, though - I seem to remember that being an option on Zeam
It's an option with ProLauncher too.
