Paid Apps now available in many countries. OFFICIALLY

Today I read a post on android police that android market is now available officially in many countries. My Country happens to be one of them.
It says no action required on user. Does this mean I can say goodbye to MarketEnabler???

India is on the list over people who can buy, but not in the list over who can develop.

Danish medias report that it should be up and running with-in two weeks time so I´m crossing my fingers for that.

Good job google... Better late than never...

Oh, hopefully that is true because when I tried without market enabler it still didn't show me the paid apps.

Wow, not only are they available in your country but seems the price now also reflects your currency. Don't have to do the conversation..
Iam still keeping my market enabler application becuase this doesn't show apps which are restricted at country

yes!
I was amazed to find that the apps in the market are in Philippine peso...
great move by samsung.

Great for all the people who have missed out.
Now they have to get PayPal implemented like they said they would a month or so back.
Don't like using my CC

Awesome! Paid apps have arrived in India! :-D

Have you stopped using Google Market for Amazon App Store?

I was wondering how many of you have decided to ditch the marketplace in favor of the Amazon App Store?
After using it, I have highly considered this option and may do so. To me, it is MUCH better than the marketplace and seems more user friendly.
Anyone jump ship yet?

Using both ATM.

Agreed
Google still = main
Amazon = only good for free paid app

Amazon is also good for getting adfree apps, like angry birds (legitimately, I bought it for a buck).
However, I agree with the above, mainly because Amazon can't detect which apps are installed and which need updating.

Free paid apps.
I myself have actually used it for that. When I see an app that is normally $2
or so and it's free, i'll grab it. However, I have seen a few free apps that seem to only have a 1 star rating, so who knows.
I hope they don't start off with some great apps then go downhill and offer nothing we want.
You never know, this app may take over the market. Very well possible as Amazon has been in the marketplace business longer than Google. I guess only time will tell.

Don't use it or like it

How do you get this app store? Can you virw and download from your phone?

this is what i'm doing too.

I primarily use google market, the amazon one is good for free paid stuff, I have another market that I use as well to test drive stuff (don't think i can mention it here though)
still though, no matter how many markets we have/use it's STILL way better than the iTunes lockdown LOL

Only problem with Amazon is the apps only work if the Amazon market is installed.

Yay whosdaman is still with us for now
Too bad your sale didnt go as planned

I am using it to get their free apps, but I don't think it is as fast. I still use appbrain.com on my computer to browse through apps and load them later. I only go to the google apps store when I know what I am looking for or I need to do it on the fly.
My money was on Google and Amazon finally getting together and doing the app store up right with music and everything, but it looks like that is not going to happen with Google releasing their music store soon and Amazon having just released their app store. I ramble.
Epic with Syndicate Frozen ROM 1.1. I tried the rest and now on to the best.

Well it makes sense for amazon to lock down their apps. Sure everyone hates the idea, but understand their point of view on that. I mean you can't even remove the google market without root lol. So why don't you complain about that?

You can create a fake amazon.com account using a fake us address (i googled for one) and your set as long as you don't try to get a paid for app for that you would need an american based credit card.
Thx i grabbed the app (same method listed above)

Just downloaded and tested, worked perfectly with my WiFi printer, Canon MX880.

The app does work great. I downloaded and installed the printer sharing app and can print to my office's network printers no problem. Not even sure if you need to do that, but it worked for me.

did they release the app store to other countries?
have a german account and had no problem with the app store.
nice app btw.

This is a great app. I liked it before but hated the price so I bought Printbot for something like 25-33% of the cost. Sad part is that I bought it just a few weeks ago! I still grabbed this one though.

i grabbed it also its great better than cloud print

I saw that too. Then I printed a page and it still said 20 pages, so I figured it referred to 20 pages at one time. At least I hope so...

Is there anyway to get Amazon to send a email for the free app of the day?

Wow, digging up an old post, lol. Why not just take the 30 seconds out of the day to manually check? lol. Make yourself a calendar reminder for every day of the year, if you really can't remember, and voila.

I didn't know I have that app. I just tried printing something from Google doc and it works! Amazing!
Edit : I use this app called my daily free Amazon app. You can set a time, and it will notify you of what free app for that day. I set it to 10pm everyday, because I'm usually home during that time so I could use wifi to download

I have been doing that. Only to find out its some app that is not worth the time to go to Amazon.
In 10 seconds I can read, then delete the email.

No Amazon store app?

I think its weird that the Amazon Store app is not compatible with the Nexus 7.
I would think Amazon would prefer to make it as easy as possible for all of us to order merchandise from their site.
I guess I can side load it but weird.

Its not weird. The Devs are slow, and haven't made the Amazon Ap compatible with Jelly Bean yet.
That being said, why whould anyone use the Amazon Ap store when they have the Play Store?

A few apps offer slightly different, Kindle Fire-optimized versions on Amazon. Given the near-identical screen size, these work quite well with the Nexus. For instance, the Play Store version of the excellent rss reader Feedly is clearly for phones, while the version on the Amazon Appstore is Fire-optimized and looks much nicer on the Nexus. Presumably this will change over time as more people develop with the Nexus in mind.

Why do you want to get stuck in the lame Amazon Shopping app when you can load up their site on browser? I have it on my Incredible2 phone but avoid it and rather shop via the phone browser instead, it doesn't make shopping experience any easier....

I'm pretty sure it will work on the tablet if you install the .ipk file.

Umm, ya. There isnt a tablet amazon app. I doubt they will make one ether. Why would they? The current one works fine. Plus they have their own tablets with all of their great services integrated and optimized. Really, if you want the best amazon apps buy a fire. End of story.

Yes, there are two different apps being talked about BUT to respond to the above comment... the Amazon AppStore has a free app every day. Most days it is a crappy game but a couple times a month, they have something good on there for free. It is worth it to check daily for a good deal.

Yes, that link takes you to the techintz.com web site which you would then think it's all above board and then you have 8 comments so obviously it's been downloaded.
.... but what I would like to know is why are they pointing to a mediafire download link and not google play for the Box App without first explaining the reason.

Its a modified version of the app box to get you free space... The one in the market isnt modified to give you free space..

It's very tempting, but Technitz hasn't been around that long and it's run by some guy in Tanzania (not that this means much except that it's not a viable and reliable source and it's a country where there is likely little chance of legal recourse). The APK is questionable at best...so, while tempting, I'll pass. Its not like this is the first or the last of such deals...so I'll wait until the next legitimate offer.

I understand your concern about going through an unknown source but why not just try and download the box app from...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.box.android&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5ib3guYW5kcm9pZCJd
and follow these instructions to see if you can get a free lifetime 50GB Box storage.
How do I get my 50GB?
If you’re brand new to Box, you’ll need to download the app from your device and sign up for a free Box account. After the sign up is complete, log into your account from the device. Your upgrade should be complete and you’ll see a confirmation message.
If you already have an older version of the Box app on your device, you just need to sign into your account on your device and the upgrade should be complete.
Note that this promotion is only for free Box Personal accounts; if you are a Box Business, Enterprise or paid Personal customer you do not qualify for this promotion.

What do you or yall not understand when I say someone modified that apk to get free 50gb of space.. The one from the market will NOT get you free 50gb of space... If you to scared to try it than it means u Dont want the space.. Yes it ...WORKS...

Nice way of collecting personal info, data mining, who knows, might be able to collect enough info for a fake passport, and some credit cards to fund a new home
I will still try it, just won't put sensitive info in there....

Installed the app, got my 50GB, uninstalled the app and changed my password to something REALLY secure. Also under Settings -> Security in browser version you can activate 2-step verification for unrecognized logins, where after logging in a code will be sent to your mobile. And you can see when and where your account was accessed.
