These are two great SDK's and I'm looking forward to using them in future projects. Also kudos to Amazon for tackling the problem with AWS credential storage in apps for mobile devices.
It should be noted that this SDK is only for testing and not for deployment, since the two proposed solutions for secure credential management (IAM and session tokens) are not yet released ("Credential Management in Mobile Applications": http://aws.amazon.com/articles/SDKs/Android/4611615499399490 http://aws.amazon.com/articles/SDKs/Android/4611615499399490)
"Embedding credentials in source code is problematic for software, including mobile applications, because malicious users can de-compile the software or view the source code to retrieve the Secret Access Key."
