Do I understand correctly that I couldn't stream Amazon Cloud or Google Play? I'm about to click on "buy this" , but this will be a deal breaker...

This device does not have build-in app but you if you have an GP or AC app on your mobile/tablet, it should be able to play to this via WiFi connection. I have this and the Sony wireless speakers. I find myself using the Sony speakers 95% of the time since it works with both iOS and Android plus build-in app like slacker, Pandora, etc., and support multi-speakers mode if you have more than one, like a "party mode".

Samsung and Amazon work fine on other models, but not this one. Tons of chatter on the net with this. I just went several rounds with Amazon, and they claimed that the hardware (ie processor) won't work with their service. Personally, I find it baloney. , Other models of Samsung before and after work just fine. And other software such as Netflix work without issue. Their answer was to buy a Roku. Personally, I'd skip Prime and stay with Netflix. I'd think long and hard about buying Samsung again too. They both really pissed me off. So sorry.

You put A200 in the question, though this is on the A500 page. However, the answer is the same. At the current time, I can see now way of viewing your Amazon Prime Movies and TV on any android device, except for the Kindle Fire Tabs. Though I have not personally confirmed this, there is supposedly an iOS app capable of streaming Amazon instant content, so that may bode well for the eventual release of an Android version. Until then, I'd recommend either Netflix, or Vudu, or both! Vudu's movie selection is amazing, and prices aren't too bad, plus not monthly fee's. Netflix, on the other hand, has TV shows coming out the wazoo, and for $8 a month, I get more than my use out of it. Good luck!

No, unfortunetaly not. But the Sony 3D blue-ray player I had to buy did have amazon streaming.

You are welcome. Do me (us) a favor and let me know which one you decide to keep and why. If the next firmware revision or two does not fix the video streaming, then I will probably add one of those two just for Hulu. You could save me the hassle of buying both, comparing, and returning one :)

FYI - amazon app store is not compatible with this device...even though it shows up on the list of app stores.

There is a Vudu channel, and I was able to add it and browsed their movie catalog. I haven't used it yet though, there is so much else I already have with Amazon Prime and other channels that I haven't needed it. It seemed a bit pricy to me, but I guess you pay for convenience. However, it won't do 1080P, which seems to be a big part of the reason to use Vudu, since the LT can't support that. So any movies you stream would be in SD instead.

Are you familiar with Android? If you are - than you should know that you have a choice of browsers, t.e. Opera, Chrome, Dolphin, etc. In order to " stream" any of the listed above browsers will need an extension, which after you install will give you an opportunity to "stream" . Be aware of any possible virus that you might pick-up by live streaming.

Truthfully, I cannot get Google Play Store to work ( even though it's a "google" tablet) . I have downloaded all of my apps rom "SlideMe" which works great -- I can watch movies on Netflix, watch "youTube", download and read from both NOOK and KINDLE apps - I SKYPE and , of course, email and internet search.. Since I can do everything I want with it when I'm away from home -- the Google Play Store doesn't bother me -- but if you can find someone to make it work - I would be interested in just knowing how..

without flash, no Hulu or Netflix...in theory, it may be possible to get FLASH to work, but I have failed so far. Thanks to Costco's generous return policy, I can play with it for another month, then make the keep or return decision

Ditto to what T. Whiting said. There's a list on the web that shows what Samsung devices actually have the amazon prime streaming service app. Sadly this is not on the list. *sigh* Would have been an awesome addition.

My understanding (based on some of the Squeezebox forums) is that Amazon would have to provide APIs for the streaming service. I doubt they would do this since it would compete with Amazon products (even though there hasn't been a squeezebox product released in a while). It's too bad they don't... I would probably sign up with Prime if they did.

Not sure about Amazon app store. I used Google Play. I'm not sure about watching movies from Netflix and Amazon. Honestly, the processor is so slow that I doubt you could watch movies. It took forever for the browser to load to even check my e-mail!

Hi, I don't know because I don't use amazon cloud player. However, you can try and see if you can.Good luck!

As I purchase my music through Amazon I tried downloading the Amazon CloudPlayer App with no luck, so I imagine that the Pandora might be problematic as well though it seems that others have been able to do it without a problem. Just remember it is truly a WiFi unit which means you have to be in a wifi area for it to work.
