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....

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.

Lol was gonna ask for your source, then just googled it myself xD
not to put blockbuster down, but it really just cant compete with the no added fee instant streams and the unlimited movie/month dvd's for only $9. The only thing that can compete is Redbox and its doing quite well(off topic) especially since redbox is currently beta testing game rentals in their kiosks here in Reno.
I hope they change the app to free or cheaper rentals cause I use blockbuster online like crazy. I love it cause I can exchange a movie in the store for a new release on tuesdays. Can't even get a lot of new movies from netflix.

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

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?

If it makes you feel any better, we can't access Samsung Movies in the U.S. because it detects we have a UK phone. We can't access Samsung Movies in the UK because it's picking up a U.S. IP. All is not a bed of roses here in the U.S.

I've been using Wallet since the day I got it at I/O and now you don't need data to use it. The NFC chip "remembers" the last balance on your account when you had a data connection on the device.

those of yall that are rooted remember to go into the settings in the google wallet app and reset it before you flash a new rom. you have to actually do this from in the app, not titanium or anyway else, from inside the app. there is a risk that you will bork your nfc( just for wallet purposes, not for android beam). i forgot to do that a few times when i flashed a new rom on my evo and everything is still fine for me. but yea seriously this is posted anywhere that google wallet was posted in the evo lte forums. im not sure of the validity of this but something yall should look into it. happy spending
