That would be the "AD free" version sir :)

They also have the ad supported free one on the market as well :D
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] lordgodgeneral:
It'll be interesting to see how they're market handles multiple devices and frequency for updates.

Only negative I've seen so far, is that the apps seem to take quite a bit longer from amazon. Uninstalled AB and then downloaded and installed from android market, then downloaded and installed from amazon market, took 3 almost 4 times longer to download from amazon.

Angry Birds RIO

I also downloaded the Amazon app, and then at the top Angry Birds RIO showed for free download. Had some initial issues with my password, I could not get my regular Amazon password to work same as my mobile.. But all is well, and Angry Birds RIO plays great... I look forward to their future fee offerings, and I also found it works a lot better than Marketplace.

Anyone running Amazon Appstore on stock rom GTablet?

It works great on my VEGAN-tab but when I try to install it on my stock GTablet, I receive an error: "There was a temporary error logging in. Please try again in a few moments."

I tried again a few moments later over and over again all day, and still no luck. I couldn't even download the app properly...had to transfer via USB. Only to get this error message.

But in my VEGAN-tab, downloaded, installed and ran absolutely perfectly.

Anyone else having this problem? Any ideas why?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] clintre:
I noticed that as well. I am thinking (hoping) that it is due to the fact that it just launched and they are swamped a bit. Will know better after a couple weeks.

Still over all I like it. It seems to work pretty smooth on my ancient G1 ;)
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] D Wright:
I have stock rom and it works fine. A little slow like others have said but this is good for me without access to market apps. Nice to be set up already as an Amazon customer.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] the3dman:
I used the same amazon account on all 3 of my devices and anything I purchased or was available for install on all 3 devices. So I guess you can install an app that you purchased on as many devices that you own without paying separately for each device, which is how it should be. You paid for the software and should be able to use it on any device you wish within reason. +1 for amazon! I hope they don't change this.

Tank Hero

For those that couldn't get tank hero on the upgraded market with Vegan you can now get it with the Amazon Market, gonna search for a few other things that were missing from the Android Market. Me Likey!!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] LittleBirds:
Not sure what the problem was, but a factory reset seemed to clear it up.

I am definitely excited about the Amazon app store. It looks like a great alternative for tablets without Market access. But beware that one-click ordering...sometimes too easy is not a good thing! :)
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] nunjabusiness:
It is the whole app and website that is slow. Every part of the process takes longer than Market. However, there are a number of things I can't find on the Market that I could at Amazon. Kudos overall.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] clintre:
Even if it stays slower I am liking it. It is not like I will install software every day. I found it nice that I could go to the app website make the purchases and then at my convenience install them on my device.

I don't have my GTab yet so I am really living in the slow lane with my venerable G1 ;)
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] turboaddiction:
Thats good to know i would definately pay for some apps to be ad free.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] nunjabusiness:
Yes, I am as well.

After browsing around, I am willing to trade the speed for truly functional search. The ability to filter the listings alone makes it a winner over the Market.

I downloaded the WOrld Series poker free paid app but it FC on me each time, anyone else having the same issue?

Doesn't work for me on Vegan Ginger.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] anjenaire:
Iwas having all sorts of sound issues with that application. Radom noise from the speakers. I finally closed it. I am having issues with Angry Birds Rio today. No love. I tried to run it at work yesterday (no network access) and now I am getting error message to re-install. Tried that several times but still not working. I think Amazon still has some quality testing to do.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Lnin0:
Does it seem to anyone else that Amazon is using some kind of qualifier (buildprop) similar to the Android Market? I was hoping Amazon would be wide open and not care what device you use, but it seems that it is filtering apps based on some "compatability" test?

However, one nice thing (and Ive only done one app) was that when I downloaded AB RIO it sent me an email and then the email sent me to a link which directly downloaded the APK file to my download folder. I had to go in and install from there. So that is nice having the APK ... although also very easy to distribute which might not be so good for paid apps.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] anjenaire:
A little more digging on my part. From Amazon Appstore Help: "Because your application purchases are tied to your Amazon.com account, you will not be able to use apps if you have signed out from the Amazon Appstore. To use the apps that you've purchased, please sign back into your account on the Amazon Appstore app. " So as I read this, and based on my experience, unless you are logged in (and have a network connection obviously), apps purchased or free won't work on our tablets. BIG FAIL Amazon. This has to change in the world of tablets. I don't have wifi access all day. It looks like something hosed once I tried to use AB Rio without network access (and by extension, the Amazon Appstore application) and now no amount of removal and re-downloading will make it work even though my Amazon account shows me successfully purchasing and installing it (purchase price = $0). I am going to keep poking at this, but this looks like a big deal killer for me on the Amazon Appstore.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] yourdudeness:
You know, Im a registered developer in Amazon app store, they welcomed us and didn´t have a problem with us not being U.S. Based. Later they launched the appstore only in the united states and we, their own registered developers can´t access the damn thing. We should have access try things out and get the feeling of the whole store to improve our own apps.

That was a bad start at least with our side of the coin
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Bit Banger:
I deleted the Amazon app store because it runs at boot up, and uses resources in the background. Also anything you download can only be accessed as long as you have Amazon app store installed on your device! Delete the app store and you can kiss your apps be bye. I think its nothing more than marketing spyware with a app a day come-on.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] knotrkr:
I tried it with stock, same message, (on my MT3G), now I'm using RoyalGinger 2.1 . Same error message. On my stock Tmo. Galaxy Tab, same error message, I'm now using OverCome 2.0 on my Tablet and still no go. I'm open to any and all suggestions. :confused:
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] knotrkr:
AGREED, I'm from the US but I have lots of friends in Canada, I hope you get it soon.

I had it working fine this morning on MT4G Stock. BUT, last week I dropped and smashed my screen so I had to buy a replacement through the insurance witch was delivered today, and when I downloaded then tried to log into it, (BC some of my favorite apps are in there) I got the same error message that says "There was a temporary error signing you in. Please try again in a few moments. So this seems to be a problem with the apps, not the phones or roms or OS versions. As far as I can see anyhow. All this trouble seemed to of start when they upgraded the app a few days ago.

Could we at least sign into it on the PC, sign in, and at least download the free app everyday to your account until the issue is fixed. Is there a way to download the apps from the amazon android app store on your computer.. worth a try.. I know it's a pain though...

Kn0t
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] knotrkr:
Yea anyone that's singed into it right now, I'd strongly suggest not logging out for any reason until this is resolved, I did and could not log back in.. sucks..v:rolleyes:

[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Spazmogen:
How true. Have you noticed that Amazon.COM will allow you to download the kindle.apk from the Android Market and it works fine. I've bought several books from it. They have no problem taking my $. But the app store? No way!

Amazon.ca does not even have mp3 downloads yet...

I'm in S.W. Ontario.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] knotrkr:
ok,, now I get the "There was a temporary error signing you in. Please try again in a few moments" Everytime on my account. I can sign in fine online. I made a new account and it works fine but my other account had almost 40 paid apps on it that I now can't get too. I wonder if there's a way to download them off of the web amazon app store and pop them on my phone.. I'll give it a try. I have no clue why it won't let my account work on any deivice. I even changed and added credit cards.. checked my info.. I'm lost.. :eek:
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] omnia1994:
the new designed tab (8.9 n 10.1) has been announced. i like the new look very much, n sdcard is now available, but sadly the camera has been downgraded to 3mp =( n it looks a bit lag in the video by androidcentral in youtube..

n, is 8.9 using tegra cpu?

anyone think i shud jump to xoom iinstead?:(
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Srikar_NBK:
I think I'm firmly on the new 10.1 Tab right now. 3 MP camera is something I can live with, in exchange for the slimness and weight. I think they displayed an older build (10.6 mm) thickness, with TouchWiz on it on the AC video. So, I don't want to jump to conclusions on the lag
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] omnia1994:
is 8.9 using nivia tegra?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Eclair~:
Samsung hasn't revealed the CPU their tabs will be using.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] calin75:
The tab cameras still beat the iPad 2's ones.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] unknown_owner:
Yes but when compared to all the other Android tablets, the rear camera is the worst. Even worst then any smartphone out last year and now.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] martonikaj:
But why in the world would you ever need a 8MP camera on your 10" tablet??? Is there ever a time when you have your tablet with you and not your phone or other digital camera/DSLR and you just

need

to take a hi-res photo?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] RickBaller:
I agree. I only use my phone camera for an "Oh Crap" spontaneous photo, not a thought out photograph where high res makes a difference. Not to mention that the quality of the lens really determines the end quality of the image. You can find shots taken on a 3MP camera with a great lens that will blow you away.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Ravynmagi:
I haven't see the Androidcentral video. But apparently there were no functioning new Galaxy Tab 10.1. The old 10.1 was used to demonstrate Honeycomb and TouchWiz. So I probably wouldn't worry too much about that, since that isn't the tablet we are getting anyway.

I'm not concerned about the camera. I'd like to have a camera, but I don't require it to be uber. I think having a good camera on my smart phone is far more important, because it's easier to hold and click pictures with a 4 inch phone than a 10 inch tablet.

Xoom disappointed me, I returned mine after a few days. It was too heavy, didn't feel comfortable to hold long, and the screen was good, but not great.

Galaxy Tab is much lighter and appears to be more comfortable to hold. Comfort is huge, I want to be able to hold this thing in my hands without fatigue or sharp corners digging into my fingers.

And the PLS screen, no doubt will blow away whatever type of panel the Xoom is using.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] martonikaj:
I just got back from the Verizon store and spent a good 20 minutes with the Xoom, and honestly my arm got tired. That thing is HEAVY. Its the first thing you notice when you pick it up. It is obviously solidly built which is what the weight offers, but man I couldn't see myself using that thing with one hand for very long.

1.6lbs is heavy. If these things come out and are solidly built for 1lb I'll be sold on it.

Should also note that using the Xoom makes me realize I probably won't want anything smaller than a 10.1" tablet. The Xoom has a much smaller footprint than the iPad because it is 16:9 and not 4:3. I think the 8.9" might be a little too small. I like the 10.1" ability to be able to view full web pages without pinching/zooming to read them properly.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jvs60:
Yep, I'm sold on the 10.1 even though i swore to never purchase a Samsung device. I'm putting my Xoom up for sale as of today
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] martonikaj:
well you've gotta wait till June 8th so you might as well hold onto that Xoom a little longer lol.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Dave©:
YES, according to CNET...:D
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] martonikaj:
Not completely confirmed. Samsung wouldn't disclose the specific processor at this time. Some news outlets are reporting Tegra 2, others are reporting "unspecified dual core processor".
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] omnia1994:
lol.. i really hope it is tegra 2 as it supports many thd games smoothly
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jvs60:
I figured if i sold it after the wifi only was released, I'd get less for it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Earthbrain:
Just edited my post. How do you delete it?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] boltd:
Nvidia's tegra site has the galaxy tab 10.1 listed as having the tegra 2
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] itsamac:
I will probably look to buy the 10.1v (or whatever they end up calling the original). I want to buy in the next month or so, so if it's not available it will be the iPad 2 until June.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Bukem75:
Have you seen the needle like charger tip for the xoom? Bad things will happen to something so flimsy... That's half the reason I took mine back. Other half is the new Tab 10.1.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] vamp6x6x6x:
I am leaning towards the Xoom because as I see more and more about it is kind of growing on me. Also, You guys my think I am crazy for saying this, but I don't really care for the new thin design of the gTab 10.1. I mean I usually like their to be some thickness or something in a device or I always end up not having fun on them bc im afraid they will break so easy.

Also...again?, I currently have 2 android devices made by Samsung, so now I think it may be time to venture and see what places like Moto can do.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gogol:
What do you like with Xoom?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] vamp6x6x6x:
Now that is the question. I mean, if you mean what do I like about the Xoom that I would like more then the gTab 10.1, it would have to be the fact that it is overall kind of thick...

I mean, I couldn't care less about the 3mp vs 5mp thing...

Well, I suppose the plug to plug into your tv being built in is good to have as well, that and the fact that I was under the impression that Xoom was Google's flagship device...but not not so sure to be honest.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gogol:
You like the thickness and the weight as well I supposed.

Me personally doesn't like those attributes.

I prefer thin and light.

I could live with Xoom thickness and weight, but I can't stand the screen.

Especially because other competitors can put something better (Asus ips, Samsung pls).

Oh I think Xoom is not Google Android tablet flagship. You know, not kind of Nexus device. Because Xoom update comes from Motorola.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Eclair~:
I agree with everything said above^

Ignoring the cameras, the Xoom is barely impressive compared to the other Honeycomb tablets. It isn't horrible, but there is almost no reason to choose it over the upcoming barrage Android tablets... That is, other than the fact that it's out now. The "better" tablets are a few months off. At least for us Americans.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Chandelure:
Ditto. I love Samsung's screens. I can't comment on Asus, but the display was one of the main selling points of the 10.1
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] vamp6x6x6x:
Actually, the more I think about it the Xoom might be perfect for me. Because right now I actually keep both my Vibrant's and gTab's pretty low; not because of battery, but because the screen seems to bright to me because since I don't go out in the sun a lot(or wear sun glasses when I do) my eyes can't handle things to bright.

In fact, the only time I turn the brightness up is outside so I can see it even with the sun's glare.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Eclair~:
However, at any level of brightness wouldn't you be able to notice the Xoom's poor color reproduction and sub-par viewing angles?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] vamp6x6x6x:
Sadly, my eyes are pretty good at noticing small details, but I am hoping it wont be as bad as I hear. In fact some of the youtube videos I see tend to make the Xoom colors look good...

Either way ty for the comment. I'll make sure to check it out with different brightness settings before I decide to buy it or not.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Techno79:
I've yet to think of a realistic scenario where using a tablet, the 3MP camera couldn't do the job that an 8MP could have done. A 3MP camera with a quality lens would blow the pants off an 8MP camera with a poor lens so it's not just about the end MP total.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jvs60:
I never set the camera on my evo to 8mp anyway, 2 mp at the most. The are always viewed on the device and won't be printed anyways.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] htowngator:
It's not so much about the MP count, exactly, but more so about the sensor, optics, and software used to capture the image.

I have a 14MP cheap ass camera that has terrible photos vs. a 3MP Sony from 5 years ago that still takes great shots.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Eclair~:
Do you do this to save space? I'm honestly curious... It doesn't seem as if there would be any other benefits.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] vamp6x6x6x:
Well, that and upload your videos to Youtube. Because with youtube your videos can't be more then so big.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Techno79:
I suppose if you don't need the extra MP size then setting it on a lower MP setting will take up less space and make the photos load quicker.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jvs60:
Exactly, to save space and to be able to send pics as mms. There is absolutely no benefit to 8mp photos to be viewed on any phone.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] LincolnBlack:
I've been tossing up this same debate in my head.

I'm looking at a WiFi only device, if I was to wait for a 10.1 GT in WiFi only - given how long it took for Samsung to release the WiFi only 7" Tab, I could be waiting well into the second half of 2011.

My question is about which one is likely to have a strong developer following. I've got a Galaxy S and the number of custom ROMs, themes, kernels and so-on is awesome. And this is something (perhaps quite a large part) that I would be looking out for in a tablet also. I know the Xoom looks to be already getting a good following, if I can see the 10.1 GT getting the same, that would definitely swing my vote.

EDIT- According to PC World, looks like the WiFi only skinny Galaxy Tabs are the first ones to be released!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] kytz:
Does anyone know if the 3g version will be released at the same time as the wifi-only model? Will it be sold only through the carriers in the US or can I buy an unlocked one from somewhere else, too? I don't think the pricing has been announced yet, but judging from the wifi-model's pricing, I bet it's around the same as iPad2.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Chandelure:
The 3G doesn't have a release date, It'll come 'later'. No one knows.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] wang1404:
Handcent can downsize the images so really....the only reason why I wanna downsize the MP is to zoom in farther.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] DensoYamaha41:
I have owned the Wifi Motorola Xoom tab for 3 weeks and I love it except that it is heavy and the screen is a big disappointment. My friend has an Ipad 2 it is way brighter and alot crisper better colors on screen. The Ipad 2 looks like a higher resolution screen to the human eye. The Xoom screen just seems washed out.

That being said, I plan on selling my Xoom and buying either The Galaxy 10.1 or the Asus Transformer Tablet. Below is a good reason why not to buy the Xoom.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEvqqQeaHKU

The Asus screen is crisper, can go a lot brighter on brightness settings, better color depth and viewing angle. I always have the Xoom on the full brightness during the day. Outside the screen still seems to dark and in a room with florescent bulbs like at my work. To me the screen is one of the most important things in enjoying the product.

Does anybody know how the Samsung 10.1 screen compares to the Ipad 2 or Asus Tablet?

The Asus is definitely heavier and is wider, but I would be fine with that if Samsung's screen is not up to par with the Asus or Ipad 2.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Eclair~:
No one truly knows how good the new Galaxy Tabs screen are, we only know what type of screen they will be using.

According to Samsung themselves the tabs will be using a "Super PLS" screen. Surprisingly enough it was rumored that Apple was planing to use Samsung's PLS screen on the iPad 2. Why they did not end up doing this I don't know.

Samsung is also claiming that Super PLS is the "evolution of IPS", which I'm assuming that means they are saying it's better. I doubt the screen on these tabs will match the iPad (however it is a possibility) but I'm sure they will be better than the Xoom. Possibly like I said above maybe even better or close to the iPad 2 just like the Transfomer.

We will see~
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Jo...:
According to the Vietnamese hands on, the screen is better than the iPad 2. :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Magnesus:
Isn't Super PLS also better readable in bright light than normal IPS? Or maybe I mistaken it for some other IPS/AAFS or sth...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Eclair~:
Oh really? Interesting.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] chipdroid:
why cant we let bigons be bigons and buy a boat instead
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] SteveSlimer:
The German video says that the resolution is better as well.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] htowngator:
Well, that's pretty obvious. iPad 2 is 1024x760 and Tab 10.1 is 1280x800.

Also keep in mind that Apple wanted to use the new Super PLS screens on the iPad 2 but didn't get to for whatever reason.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Madrenergic:
Perhaps they thought they'd be put to better use as part of the new Galaxy Tab instead. And maybe that's why Apple got mad and decided to sue them? Who knows? I'm just speculating here.
