Doesn't seem to work on my view. Maybe I did something wrong. Hmm.
Probably because its honeycomb.

Hm, It should work. Sadly I don't have a honeycomb device so I won't be able to try to bug test it.
Expect a ICS release soon...
For those getting FCs on HP Touchpad!
For those getting force closes on HP touchpad and other devices , try this out..
The issue is that it is expecting a permission for the browser app (android.permission.PREVENT_POWER_KEY) which is not there.
I added the permission in the cloud9 browser apk and repackaged it. It works on my HP Touchpad with XRON 2.8.
Find the repackaged apk at:
http://bit.ly/cloud9browser
Install it like before and reboot.
Hope it works

No offense but these directions are difficult to follow. Can someone write up a more legitimate copy or post a video.?
Correct, this was a port the raw app and it's requirements. If anyone could re-size the app I would give them a cookie.
Tried moving filed some SD/extracted to system/lib but it seems like the files aren't showing up? Using File Explorer on Epic 4G CM 7.
These instructions are extremely detailed and shouldn't be to terrible to follow. Perhaps you should reread the instructions a few times and take it slow.

I can confirm this works on Epic 4G CM7 RC0.
I don't get why Amazon just doesn't release the rest of their apps. It's what makes Fire look special but the money comes from the services provided anyways; Not silk or VOD apps. I reckon soon they will be available though. Make people Amazon Appstore reliant. That way you get folks hooked on your store and you get your app cut (from sales). The browser seems tits though. I'm currently switch back and forth between Opera and Dolphin Mini.
Also, is it me? I've always been able to watch Amazon movies through the browsers. A app would offer a smoother experience but I'm not starving.

After many test I managed to get Silk to work on a different OS. This worked on CM7 for Kindle Fire. If you get any errors please post.
Here is the link to the spreadsheet. Please check to see if your device is supported!
Install Tutorial:
1. Download the pack here.
2. Use Root Explorer to copy the lib files to /system/lib set permissions the same as the others.
3. Install all of the .apks like you would side load.
4. Copy the com.amazon.cloud9-1.apk from /data/app to /system/app
5. Reboot and enjoy

it's not actually called silk.apk, it's called com.amazon.cloud9-1.apk. move that one and you should be good to go.
