When will we be able to stream amazon instant videos on this tablet? I installed the adobe flash player, but my video library still tells me flash player is required, and after I say install it tells me that the flash player install is not compatible...

HEY FRANK: Dont think you are crazy. Adobe pulled its support for Amazon Unbox videos and the like. So, you simply wont be able to play your videos over your Asus until Amazon finds a way to patch or come up with a ew system of allowing people like you and I to watch the videos we have purchased. It licks balls because if you cant watch movies over it, whats the point, right? I have been assured that Amazon is working on this and will have a fix sooner than later. Until then, I either just watch stuff on Hulu or Youtube or, watch the stuff you have on Amazon at home over your Toshiba like I do.

Well, I haven't been able to get it to work. I purchased it from Amazon for the particular reason to watch Prime movies and when I wrote to them about it, the answer was...Oh well! I still haven't been able to get it to work because it is not listed in their streaming device list.

If you use Amazon apps you should be able to download it from there. Its listed under "my devices" and on you computer you would be able to see if you can use the app or not (when you download from the device itself it just won't download it). I've tried downloading HULU but it won't let me...when I got online I saw that its only available to Kindle Fire. Hope this answers your question! lol

No, it won't play amazon video. You're right, when I tried to download Adobe it says it's not supported on your device

For some reason very bizzare reason, the 2011 models do not support Amazon Instant Video. If you look at the history of questions on this device, or Google for information, you'll find quite a few frustrated with this. You can't get it as a "Yahoo Widget" (2009-2010 models only) and the Samsung App is only available on 2012 models and later. I was just looking for it today out of curiosity (I was updating the PLEX app) and was sad to see it isn't there. I have many other options, but it does seem obnoxious that they can't fix this minor detail, when Netflix and other Samsung Apps seem to work fine on this TV.

Make sure you download and install the "Amazon for Tablets" THEN download and install the "Amazon Prime Instant Video". By the way, get the apps from the Amazon.Com site because when I tried to get from the Google App Store, they wouldn't install.

Yes, I was able to connect to You Tube and watch something. I had to sign up for Netflix and I got that far, but didn't want to set up for the trial month. So that's all I can say about that. It does not have flash - so if there's anything you need that uses flash, it won't play (some of the stuff I might want to watch off of Facebook won't play).....I love it for sitting and playing games while watching TV. It's faster than the 2x2 that I had before. Hope this helps.

For now you can use amazon app store. Tried many ways to get google play and flash player installed. so far I have not had any luck. Hopefully there will be some of the modding communty getting involved soon, so the device can be rooted which will give superuser permissions to install the much needed apps.

netflix has its own app and works great on the tablet. amazon prime however does not have its own app and will need to be viewed on a browser. you'll need Dolphin Browser and Adobe Flash installed and correctly configured. works fine on my tablet. here is a link on how to get it all set up: the-digital-reader.com/nates-reviews/stream-amazon-instant-videos-android-tablet/if the adobe flash player link in that article doesn't work for whatever reason, you can download it here as well: downloadandroidfiles.org/Files/Apps%20%28APK%29/KitKat.Adobe.Flash.Player.11.1.apk

I'm sorry but I don't use amazon instant videos so I don't know. I cannot play Netflix or Hulu, either. Can you?

whenever I try to watch an Amazon video it says that I don't have the most recent version of flash. But according to the Market I do. I can watch netflix & google vids fine but anything from Amazon gets thwarted. If anyone here knows what I need to do to fix this I would be SOOOO grateful!!!

Yes and no. All the major TV apps that I've tried work great (TNT, ABC, TBS...) but for Amazon your only option is a program called FlashFox Pro. Amazon's streaming runs on Flash Player and the FlashFox browser is the only one left on Android that runs Flash. The app is available on the Google Play store. Amazon says that they are working on an Android app, but they've been saying that for a while now. They've got one for iOS but since their Kindle Fire is in direct competition with all other Android tablets I'm not holding my breath. It's too bad because I'm a Prime member and I definitely feel cheated.

When will they be available?Looks great combination of features & price-I really want a good viable alternative to the Apple.It will support/play Adobe Flash too, which Apple doesn't, & it's High Def, which Apple isn't

My Roku 2 HD will not accept software update...have tried about 20 times. I can no longer access my Amazon Instant Video. Strange that my older Roku XD has updated and runs the new software for Amazon just fine!

Found a working version of flashplayer: com.adobe.flashplayer_111115007.apk Took a little time to find it via Google and the download & install. But now YouTube, Netflix and other web videos that I've tried work fine.
