Is there any way to have two Amazon Apps or two Amazon accounts on one Iconia 500? Both my wife and I have separate Amazon accounts and sometimes share the tablet.
cant you log out and then use the other email address to log in. I am not sure why you would need two accounts thou
I though about logging off, but apparently I would have to de-register the tablet with my Amazon account.
As for why we have two accounts, we read very different books and each have our own spending money, so it makes more sense for us to have separate Amazon accounts.

After i replied to you post i tried logging out of my Amazon account. You are correct does not work.I would give Amazon a call they do take tech support calls. As we have done so once a while back.There is a number on your amazon account.
there is a app called switch me. That allows multi users on the tab But IM Guessing it will not help with this as i think the amazon account if fixed in the d/load link.
Good luck

I don't know how I did it but my wife and I both have different Gmail accounts on our tab. When I go to the market the apps that we have loaded are listed below our separate accounts under "My Apps".

Its because you each log into the market with you're. Own gmail account. Amazon accounts are activated by device.

My account has more than one device. Whatever I purchase on one device is also available on the other.
So, isn't this what the OP wanted to do?
edit:My bad. Just. noticed they're talking Amazon accounts.

I haven't tried it yet , but I would think the SwitchMe app would do the trick..
I have tried it for my kids and me, so that they can have a tablet full of games and I can have a clean slate for my stuff. Each instance is like a new desktop. Worth a shot.
For the sake of clarity, I have tried the app and still use it.. I have not tried it for the purpose that the OP is asking.
Edit: I Should have read everything, Erica already mentioned the app. i don't have 2 Amazon Accounts to try.

#1 Any news on honeycomb version?
#2 anyone else having trouble getting it to sync? It wont even let me add the facebook account on the accounts page.
Facebook no longer syncs with Android. That's for Gingerbread, but I'll bet they implemented it in Honeycomb, too.
And as for a version for HC, I doubt they'll have one cooked up before spring considering how slow they are with the regular Android version.
You didn't block apps from your Facebook did you? I had a problem recently where I could set up the normal Facebook app, on my EVO, but facebook for sense kept failing. Turns out when I went nuts removing annoying apps and trying to lock down my facebooks security, I blocked future unofficial apps.
I can confirm the facebook contacts don't sync on honeycomb. Although Twitter contacts still do. Must be software thing and less a google thing. When you try to add the account to accounts & sync it just flashes and drops you back to accounts.
It actually has more to do with Google's rules for Android. Here's a better explanation of it.
Engadget
It's something Facebook will have to deal with if they ever want the feature to return.
Do they even have a iPad version of Facebook out?
Well Facebook is not happy with Google stop the sync.
Probably FB will demand it back before making the Android tablet version
One thing that I want for FB is MULTI USER client app!!!!!
Which I can choose account to use

Friend Me works really well, it's made specifically for Honeycomb, and it's FREE. The ads are well done so it's not intrusive and for $3 using in app billing u can unlock the ad free version.
The only downside is as of yet they don't have any widgets

Better than creating a new thread to discuss a topic that has already been introduced, don't you think?
In the Corporate (Exchange) mail. There is NO SEARCH button. I cannot find it on any menus either. I did download touchdown and am able to search in there but either I can't find it in the regular email program or it's a huge blunder by the Honeycomb team and they forgot to include one.
Sorry this has never been a feature of stock Android, ever. Not to say that it won't come, but they just haven't ever included it for whatever reason.
Pure speculation, but i think the search is missing because it would be restricted to messages downloaded to the xoom, missing anything residing on the server, reducing the usefulness of the search results.
For example, searching my gmail inbox from the mail app on my iphone never gives me anything past 10 recent emails.

You might try using K9 Mail. They just released an update to make it compatible with honeycomb albeit not optimized.
I have XOOM and will probably return it because of this problem. FYI the built in Apple IPAD email reader is able to search local exchange mail correctly. Also the IPAD reader has a very useful preview funciton that I am used to in exchange and neither the built in email reader nor touchdown have this feature. bummer!
not included in the first honeycomb OS update
Well, my xoom just received the update to prepare it for the 3/18 adobe flash download -- email search was not included in this upldate. I too really miss this feature.

Think "Software platform", and then go download K9, it's free, or buy Touchdown. One does not have to rely on stock apps.
@Bauxite ...
WRONG... vanilla froyo and gingerbread (as well as all versions before that i think?) have ALWAYS had stock email search capabilities as well as systemwide searching. have you ever looked at just about every android device with the harware spyglass button at the bottom??
whats up xoom/motorola/google? this could be a dealbreaker for most people including me.
no email search
Pretty poor coming from a company who is al about search.
Is there any update to this?
I have an ASUS Transformer and it is VERY annoying not to have search functionality in the browser. I use IMAP and not Exchange so I can't figure out how to make Touchdown work either (plus I would rather not pay money)
Fix this, Google!!
Silly question but here goes...
I currently have a Nexus One and I'm planning on buying a XOOM next month (wifi only)
question is: can I log into my XOOM with my current google account (used by my N1) and choose what apps to sync etc.. or will I have to create a new google account entirely, just for the XOOM?
Basically, can you be on 2 android devices at once with the same username from google, or not? Cuz I know if you change phones, you just login and it will re-download apps, bookmarks, settings etc.... but will it recognize the fact that you're on a tablet and sorta create 2 profiles?
You only need one Google account. All of your purchased applications will transfer over and you will have the ability to pick and choose what you'd like to install on either device. From my experience, the auto restore for apps and the rest of your data only occurs when you are using the same device, but I could be wrong. For reference, I'm using an LG Optimus for work and a Nexus S for my personal device.
You only need one account. I'm using my N1 and i have a rogers captivate for work and i can sync everything on both phones. It's great to only have to pay once for my apps and use them on a different phone.
You can definitely do that. I have 3 phones synced to my Google account right now.
The web based Android market seems enabled for just this. It will differentiate devices and you can "send" an app to your specific device.
My guess is its not a problem as Android tablets have been around for months now.
Purchased apps can be used on my phone and tablet. The auto restore seems to be device type specific because when I got a loaner MyTouch 4g, it installed everything that was on my N1 automagically (a little surprising).
On the tablet, purchased apps showed up as purchased, but nothing auto downloaded.
My tablet is Archos so it is not official market supported like the Xoom so it would be interesting to find out about the auto restore but I doubt it will.
Market seems to be pretty good about device type identification.

The other thing that seems to impact whether or not apps are restored automatically is when you put in your Google account during the activation process. It seems that all of my devices will restore my apps if I put it in immediately after flashing a new ROM or doing a full wipe, but if I skip that process and add it later, the apps are not restored.
Either way, the device will recognize what you've purchased and will automatically sync contacts, calendar, etc. if you choose it to.
We should ask in the xoom section... I just ordered one too and am kinda interested in how this works.

It's not a 'real' tablet experience, per se, but I just activated a second android device on my account. I've been using CM7 on my N1. I loaded a CM7 ROM onto a Nook Color yesterday, and almost all of my market apps came down when I signed in, many of them with settings intact. Both devices are displayed on the My Account -> Settings page on the web market.
I've been managing the app loads on each device separately. So far I have not noticed any cross-contamination of apps or settings from one device to the other. Contacts have remained synced up the whole time.

when I setup my Xoom yesterday i used the same account as on my mesmerize and it synced
Things like contacts from gmail, emails, and calendar, pretty much the usual google apps.. As far as the other apps, they did not sync in three slightest. The apps which I've paid for show up in my apps so i can download them but they do not do it automatically and I've had to manually download each one and set whether it auto updates or not. As for the other apps
Not a single one even showed as having been on my phone. I guess the rule of thumb is if its a paid app, it will be possible to manually install it from my apps but free apps do not at all carry over.
this is my experience and certainly there is room for improvement... There are apps out there that can do this for us, market quick links is one of those I think. It backs up links for the installed apps so they can be quickly installed on an(other) device...

Most apps will sync in both places. I had trouble with docs 2 go. Would only register on the device it was first installed (licensing issues). They offered to reassign to the new device but then it wouldn't work on the first one.

I noticed when I was purchasing docs to go that it said it would only work on one device at a time, but i think that unless otherwise specified in the apps tos that it should work for all apps but that some companies want to force a second buy for each device even though I can only user one at a time... Greedy aorta sorta and makes me not wanna use apps like that to discourage devs from taking such actions..

I just wanted to make sure... because it would suck to have alllllllllll the apps from my N1 on my XOOM .. I wanna pick which ones. and by picking which ones to keep on XOOM, I didn't want it to "sync" with my N1 and delete them there too!
If they are truly treated as 2 different objects, then perfect!
On a side note, I can't wait for the damn WIFI-only version to come out already!!!
I can confirm that they are all treated differently.
I currently have 3 devices on the go at once and all from the same Google account.

I have an N1 and just got a viewsonic g tab. None of my apps automatically installed on the tab using the same google account, but I can confirm that my purchased apps were in the list. If you have a ton of free apps and don't want to dig through the market for them all, you can use a backup app to back them up on your N1 and then copy them over to the tab and restore the ones you want. This saved me a lot of time.
Jon
actually, I didn't want ANY apps to sync at all I want both my devices to be unique, but use the same google account. Looks like I'll be ok!
Thanks for all the responses guys!
As long as my N1 and future XOOM sync contacts/calendar/etc... but not all apps, I'm happy
I am an existing Amazon Prime member and I purchased a Kindle Fire which comes with one free month of Amazon Prime and 5GB cloud storage
I did a chat support to ask if there was a way to combine my accounts and get 10GB of storage, the answer was NO
I asked if there was away to run two accounts on one device, the answer was NO
So if anyone has been wondering, the answer is NO!
Now if only someone could come up with an app that could either combine accounts or easily switch between them... or does one exist?
Why?
Sorry, but why would you need to manage two accounts from one device? There may be a good reason, I just can't think of one.

Simply for the extra Cloud Storage. 6GB doesn't seem to be enough for people. PUT IT ON A CLOUD!
Ok- so no to two accounts for reason of combining cloud storage etc- but what about this scenario.. I just ordered one for the wife- who has her own amazon acct.. I have an amazon acct also and on my Droid Incredible I've been d/l'ing the amazon free app of the day pretty much everyday. Will I be able to use my acct to install those apps on here kindle, then log her back into her acct?

and you wont be able to side load them as the amazon apps from thier store, including the free apps, check amazons servers to see if you purchased them. If they are not on your account, you wont be able to use them. You can install them, but they wont work
with that logic, i'll just open up 10 accounts and get 50GB for freeeeeeeeee!
or you could pay a measly $20 for a years worth of 20gb? It's not horrible and we all knew going into it cloud was part of the plan.
Not to beat a dead horse, but this is how the Kindle's have worked since the eReader. That is why the wife and I buy all of our stuff on one shared account and email. That way we can share the apps.
Here is a tip (at least it worked last I checked):
- Go to AmazonMP3.com and buy any 99cent album and BAM, free upgrade to 20GB for a year.

I use AppSaver application on my Nexus S to save downloaded apps from Android Market and transfer to my Kindle Fire. There are some cool games and such that don't show up on the Amazon or Android markets, but do show up for my phone and work perfectly well with the Fire.
I have ordered two N7 and ticked to connect them with my Google user. The question is if I'll get 2x25$ for my Google account afert loging in at one device, or i have to do it on both. In the future i'm going to use two N7 for two different users.
I don't think so, these kinds of things are usually a once-per-user type deal.

Sorry upfront i cant remember or find where i read this. Thou i know it was a credible source for the most part . I have read that goggle Jelly bean has a feature built into it . To attach a unique identifier from that device(guessing esn) to the market and apps purchased on that device and make them not available on other devices unless you re purchase them for each device you have. If this holds any truth. I would think the 25.00 credit would also be linked to such a standard. If in fact true you would have 25.00 for each tab. not a total of 50.00. But both tablets can link to the same google wallet account. As i use google wallet for may things other then APP Store. Same with my Pay Pal Debit card.I just find it safer.
Sorry if this is a bit off topic but its interesting to really know if this holds any Truth. I have some not so cheap apps. I would SCREAM If they told me i had to re purchase them. because i buy a new device every year lately.

I highly doubt that that is true as it would make no sense to force users to buy the same app multiple times. Are you perhaps referring to the encryption of paid apps? That's to prevent piracy and cracking rather than the above stated purpose.
I activated my I/O & got the credit but when I activated the one from Gamestop, I didn't get the credit.
It would be prone to too much abuse, eh? Having multiple credits on one account. Theoretically, if you bought a tablet, activated it, returned it citing display problems, and repeat 7 more times, you'd have enough credits to receive a free Nexus 7 from the Play Store, no?
Unless I'm horrible mistaken, that's how I understand it.
