First of all, that's the whole point. If Google, who made the damn SDK in the first place, doesn't make THEIR market app the explicit handler of market url's, then why is it ok for Amazon to enforce that kind of behavior. That's my point, and that's why I said it's anti-Android. And on top of that, they expect me to compile a separate branch of code specifically to upload to their market to support that. AND, after that first introductory year or if I join later than the first batch of early adopters, I have to pay them $99 too. How does that not qualify as totally lame? They're enforcing Apple-esque rules where Google is not, and on Google's own platform.
I guess I see your point about Amazon's market needing to be installed to handle the intent because I hadn't thought about the fact that you can probably purchase apps on their website w/o the Amazon Market installed. But........if you do buy apk's from Amazon and you don't have their market, how the hell is the average user expected to install the app? They have to be running some kind of app to install stuff they bought on Amazon, so essentially, there's not really a case where they won't already have Amazon's software installed on their phone. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
