Free streaming video for Amazon Prime Members - G Tablet General

Today, Amazon.com, announced free streaming video for their Prime Members.
Watching The Green Berets on my GTab.

Not familiar with Amazons services beyond buying junk. Is that a pay service?

We use the Amazon Prime Membership for free 2day shipping, it costs 79.99 per year. They have now added free streaming of movies and TV shows to the same membership.
They are launching an effort to compete with Netflix, etc., anyone can rent movies and TV shows from their site and watch them on a Flash enabled device, i.e. the GTab.
HD is outstanding on the GTab.

I just got a trial of netflix, and was feeling depressed that it worked on iPad/windows but not Android and Linux. This new service seems like just the ticket.
Unfortunately, a lot of movies that are on amazon aren't on netflix and vice-versa, so I guess the intrepid streaming video pioneer will have a foot in both camps.

Awesome that Amazon decided to do this - and for those who are already Prime members it is a welcome addition to the service. Even if you don't use Amazon the price point for it isn't too bad at all.

took some screen shots for anyone wondering:

Engadget Nexus / SkyRocket

Engadget has a Nexus review in which they line up the Nexus, Nitro and SkyRocket around the 3:50 mark.
After watching this I don't regret the SkyRocket at all. What I really wanted was a bigger screen, the resolution to me is nearly not even a factor. And I still believe the SR has more usable screen space. Disagree with me if you wish, these are just my opinions.
video here http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/16/verizon-galaxy-nexus-review/
I saw this phone (Nexus) yesterday. played with it. personally I think its a bust.. I put my Sr next to it and could not tell the difference. It's just a bridge for other phones to break out next year.. Its the first Android with ICS so I will wait till all the bugs are gone and boom ICS for the SR bug free!
I did not see a video anywhere on that page<<
I took a look at the LG Nitro in a store just now. To be honest, the display didn't impress me much. I only noticed the HD capabilities when I played an HD video on the demo unit.

Yep, and that thing was so damn laggy, it wasn't funny.
The Skyrocket unit was just as snappy as mine, which was a real shocker for a display unit.
I love my Skyrocket, and will NOT give it up..
Unless of course the Note comes out, then.... yeah.

Here it is .
Thanks phil. The app install fine and opens too. Unfortunately it needs a US credit card too, even during the 30 day free trial. Sadly it doesn't accept my international card.
Anyway, thanks for the help man.
hahah i was just about to create a thread about this app!
i downloaded it last night and played around with the free trial. i'm glad that there's finally a decent magazine reading app for the android that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.
the only downside is that it was crashing a lot when downloading the magazines. once the magazine is downloaded though, the interface can rival the ipad's magazine reading apps with embedded video and what not. flipping pages can be a little bit smoother too, as large articles take about 2 seconds to load sometimes.
has anyone else given this a try?
Google Play is now saying it is incompatible with Transformer TF101. I find this really odd....
Yeah, for some reason the market won't let you download this if you're using certain devices (Transformer, Transformer Prime, etc). I contacted Next Issue about this and they sent me a real helpful link that has the actual apk available for download:
http://support.nextissue.com/Knowle...ported--how-do-i-get-next-issue-for-my-tablet
I know someone already posted the apk, but I figured this would be a link to the actual, legit source
fyi: the current apk can be download from their official site: http://support.nextissue.com/Knowledgebase/Article/View/166/

It's about time! I travel a lot and have to share my hotel rooms with other people, so this is great, I will be able to watch whatever I want and they can have the tv to themselves.

Probably just checking if root exists, most subscription based video services do this now. I just deny it access and it seems to work fine.

[Q] Pre-Ordering Watch Dogs PS3 for NA. HELP??

I want to get Watch Dogs for the PS3 but don't know where to start...I'm looking to get a edition that is just more than the game but there are so many...There is amazon's , best buy, and gamestops pre-order incentive. But all of them are different and if you want all 3 perks you have to spend a fortune. I know that Ubisoft has a Uplay edition, that has all bonuses? ( I really want that Aiden Statue) But I don't know if that uplay edition is for PC or Europe? And I can't even import the uplay edition because it detects my IP address is USA and it re-directs me to the N.A Home page. Any advice would be appreciated. I would like to get the most pre-order exclusive items I can. And i'm even going to compromise the "I'll never do digital" motto i've run with just this last time if I can get more exclusive content, if that is the case...
Maybe just pre-order limited USA edition and get the pass? i don't know..the way the season pass is described on uPlay's website, makes it look like that the "pre-order bonues" will be split into day one DLC. Or is the Season Pass just for PC?
Or maybe IMPORT the Dedsec edition? It pretty much comes with everything but the Gangster and cyberpunk outfits. Which is pretty much the best out of all of them. Looks like the massive uPlay edition is for Europe AND for PC only? Can I even PLAY the European game on my N.A PS3?
...or maybe IMPORT the Vigalantie edition?...only comes with 1 of the 3 DLC's and no statue but it does come with the cap and mask.
After all. The previous gen is probably the last gen I'll stay with because the current gen doesn't really interest me and I have a bookshelf of PS3 games to complete ANYWAY! some advice about what to do or what to pre-order would really help!

Just check a white star icon on video item. After changing to yellow color it lands in favourite videos.
Has anyone found any other free apps like this. I refuse to waste money on an app that I will never use! Why would anyone pay for an app to watch videos on a watch! It's a cool idea but I can't see anyone watching a whole video on a screen as small as the watch screen.
Waiting for login and download
I will buy (and even pay a bit more) as soon as I can login to see my playlists and download videos/songs for offline playing.
