I've been using it since it launched for the free apps.... all you need is a fake US address and credit card number.
@Richard: a fake credit card number? Now that's a good way to be arrested.
why did Amazon launch the Appstore internationally without any official announcement? Maybe it’s because Amazon is testing the international release before an international launch http://radiomobiletech.com/blogposts/amazon-app-store-launched-internationally-2.html this articles has a theory is that Amazon has a made a mistake and will rollback soon. or may be to see how to deal with pressure in the future. Perhaps it’s related to the upcoming Amazon tablet.
