Default Streaming Amazon Instant Video with app pulled from Fire

check out .apk someone pulled from Kindle Fire for streaming Amazon video.

I am running it on the flyer right now. (I'm on a 4g mifi right now so it is a little jerky, but I'll try at home later).

YOu have to choose a video like you are going to buy it, but then login to your account and it recognizes if you are a Prime member and lets you stream for free.

edit: Can't seem to find a way to pause, but it remembers your place.

Cool Works for me!

Installed and runs just fine on my Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0. UI elements on the main page are a little bunched up, but once you get to where you're going, it looks fine. Video is top notch, although you can't bring up the native REW/PLAY/FF controls - you have to back out and go back in to resume.

One thing about logging in - the only way I could figure out to login was to "purchase" something I knew was available to Prime folks and then login. It did not charge me, of course, and remembered my credentials.

It will be interesting to see if Amazon plugs this little jail break since it is a major selling point for the Fire, or opens the Prime membership up to android in general to capture Netflix refugees.
Days of free media are almost over as the biggies look for more revenue streaming from your wallet... ...Don't believe me? Take a look at all the flagship models now being sold WITHOUT microSD card slots.

Someone modified the netflix app to not do a device check. Could this be done to the Amazon streaming app?
