Couldnt see this anywhere else on the forums (I did a search first) so thought I would point it out for those who hadnt seen it, that its was the appstore was now live in Europe
In the Uk it can be found here
http://www.amazon.co.uk/appstore
Looks a bit basic at the moment but its still doing the free app of the day like in the USA.
Official apk file can be downloaded here www.amazon.co.uk/appstore-web

Will it ever reach people outside the US? i believe there is a huge market out there for amazon to gain traction on the android platform. amazon app store with half as many good offers as the US model would work wonders.
I searched for you, but I had no luck in finding any true relevant infosssss IDK. As of now, no true mention but I would guess so soon...
Works for me in France

thanks mate. appreciate the effort.
frustrating really this. then again i guess the entire point of having an amazon android app store is about competing with android market only in the US especially since amazon isnt really big out side the US or UK.

In my own experience I can attest that they are very present in Germany and Austria as well.
I would guess they are very well known in France and Spain, too.
Here is an overview over their local presences: http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?ie=UTF8&docId=487250
At this point, the Amazon Android App Store is probably not all that successful in the US, it likely doesn't make any sense at this point to market it in Europe.
Some electric products can't be shipped to outside of US.
I tried many times, but there seems to be a regulation specially for computer staffs.
i live in Denmark and use the store on amazon.co.uk
Amazon have only recently started shipping to Ireland too i believe which is shameful, a global company like this should ship worldwide.
Hope can I download these please? Is there a way around not being in the US?
Thanks

Don't think so.. i want swiftkey x for free though.. damn US -.-
Hope that it'll come to Germany soon aswell... Anyway it's not that costumer friendly policy Amazon should go towards...
I think it's similar to the AmAzon mp3 service, they allow free storage of music on the cloud over there, but here in the uk, you don't get that priillage and although you may be able to manually install the amazon app store, it's impossible to install apps due to the country limitations coming from your amazon account believe, as I have tried myself and it won't work, maybe searching google for the app's .apk file name may get what you want by other means.
For now the store is only open in US..
As far as I understand they have plans to open the store in other countries too..
We just have to wait
I believe there is a workaround for this, unfortunately the forum where I read about it is currently down. I'll look into it.
I remember trying to get Angry Birds Rio when the appstore had judt opened. I was so sad when I realised it was US only. It then came out on Android marketplace and then I was filled with joy!
Hi,
My friend installed the Amazon App store app on his sensation and it allowed him to download the free app of the day. Not a big deal for people in the US, but he's in the UK, where in the past it always reported that the service was "unavailable in your country".
I tried myself and I can confirm that it does indeed appear to work now.
Sorry that this is not specifically 'Sensation' related, but I'm sure it'll be applicable to many UK sensation users.
Just thought it was worth mentioning.

You have to download it from the Amazon.com (US) site. Worked for me, but not sure about reports that it isn't working now. Guess the only way to be sure in your country is to give it a go.
Hi Guys,
Is there any "successful" way of selling apps outside of google play? As you may guess, I am from one of the many countries that are not able to sell apps on the google market.
I've already got a free app, and I want to further develop it..but being unable to sell it is a huge drawback
Thanks!
There are also other markets for Apps. Cant you sell at them neither?
My question was more like, if anybody has good experience with these other markets.. I am going to try slide.me and opera market and maybe report back here..
Hi all,

2. What are some of the major difference between china rom and global rom?
3. Any recommendations on shippers for singapore?

1. Check the seller.
2. Main difference would be the language support. I have used other phones before. I do not see the anything less or extra. All I did was to download Google Play from GetApps store (which is in Chinese). But, I typed Google Play and found it. So, just wait for the rest to tell you if they find anything different in ROMs.
3. You have various options. There is AliExpress, AliBaba, Cect-Shop, Giztop and TradingShenzhen. I have searched online and those are the sites that people are buying phones from. I do know specifically about Singapore. But, people are saying that they have bought phones from there. Make sure to do your own research on the seller that you are buying from.
I am from Singapore and I bought mine from Lazada.

Bro i spoken to a few sellers in carousel and local shops, a few says there is a transparent for 16gb but no stock, the rest all mentioned there isn't. Checked on aliexpress, liaow, tradingshenzhen, wondamobile, none have the transparent version too. Kinda confused whether is it available.
No transparent 16/512. I think it was announced but never seen it anywhere.
