Thanks!

It varies.  When I was first submitting last year, it was a fairly quick
turn around...say a week, week and half.  Currently it appears the turn
around is more in the 1-3 week time frame.

Oh, and it never hurts to send them an inquiry after a week or so has
passed.  They are very responsive!

The Amazon Appstore for Android is not yet available in your region.

Beside the small problem I can not install an app it looks great!
My first impression is very positive.I like the user interface on the phone
and on the website.
Now the Android Market sucks even more.

Awesome!  Or maybe not awesome...they have a Test Drive Now feature that
opens up a web based emulator to run your app for 30 minutes as a trial.
 Don't know how I feel about this.

Web-based emulator? Ignoring the business aspects, from a purely
technical standpoint, that's pretty slick. I'll have to check that out
and see if I can determine how they pulled that little trick off...

I really don't like _how_ you have to get the Appstore app itself.  I
suppose that's because it's an Appstore within the Market itself.  Asking
users to enable unknown sources doesn't seem like a good idea.  I bet my
mom would be confused as hell over this.

I just looked up one of my apps Word Mix.  Below the pricing information
there was a big green button saying Test Drive Now.  I was in Chrome when
I saw this.  Doesn't look like it is for all apps.  I would say that it is a
developer feature, but I'm not signed in to my developer Amazon account
when I see it.  It's pretty slick, but laggy with button presses.

Hm, I do not see anythink like that for app you named - make sure you wasn't

Re: [android-developers] Amazon Appmarket is now open!

2011-03-22 Thread Chris Stewart
I really just wish that Google would bite the bullet and implement some of
the much needed features for the Android Market.  I'm not unhappy with
what's there and I know the individuals are putting in serious effort, so I
don't want my comment to come off as a snub to those developers.  I really
hate the idea of managing two app stores, not only for myself but for
consumers.  If the Android Market was where I think a lot of us believe it
should be, Amazon wouldn't have even seen an opportunity in building their
own market.  Competition is great and all, but in the end it's simply going
to make us spend time thinking about app stores and not our apps.  I think
that's a problem.

I swear it's there for my apps, even when I'm not logged into Amazon.  But
I'm like others...I can't seem to find it on other apps...ah wait!  Found it
on another app Impossible Level Game LITE.

Here's the text on the about for the web emulator:

Clicking the “Test drive now” button launches a copy of this app on Amazon
Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), an Amazon Web Service available to developers.
When you click on the simulated phone using your mouse, those inputs are
sent over the Internet to the app running on an Amazon server—just like a
finger tap is sent to the app on your mobile device. From the server, the
video and audio output from the app are sent back to your computer. All this
happens in real time, creating the effect that you're running the app
locally on your computer.

If the known source is just the Market, there's no other way at the
moment. I am not sure, but could it be it's Market rules that simply
disallows apps like Amazons Appstore? I do not bother to check anyway :)

It is true you may not distribute an app through Android Market whose 
primary purpose is distributing apps. 

I suspect we will see the Amazon Appstore pre-installed on OEM devices in 
the near future (at least in the US).
