Thoughts on the Amazon App Store, Cloud Drive & Player

I’m so giddy about what Amazon has released this week — the Android App Store, Cloud Drive and Cloud Player.

There’s little doubt that Amazon’s core competency is selling.
A free paid app every day deal is absolutely going get a lot of Amazon Android apps on Android phones. Amazon has just inserted themselves as a major player in the Android app marketplace.
The installation of the Amazon App Store app was a little on the complicated side, but once it’s pants were on, it made gold records.
MP3 purchases from Amazon don’t count toward in your cloud drive space. Brilliant.
The whole 20G of space for free for a year when you purchase an MP3 album is killer smart. Totally impressed. I’ll probably buy it when my year is up.
The Cloud Player MP3 upload tool is pretty slick and is chugging right along on my computer at home.
Weak playlist creation the Cloud Player is my only gripe so far. I like to create my playlists by Artist. I have to add them to playlists one by one, which is kind of a pain. A little drag -n-drop action would be sweet.
The Cloud Player works well on my Google CR-48. That thing needs a win right now. More about that later.
Love the Cloud Player integration with my Android phone. Finally a decently priced (free) stream of my own music without having to sync my phone and my computer.
If they every develop a cross-platform Cloud Drive desktop synchronization tool, they could give Dropbox (affiliate link) a run for their money.

What do you like about what Amazon rolled out this week?

And when’s the Amazon Android tablet coming out?
