Also the requirement the user interact with a system dialog for every application installation. This isn't MUCH different from what market was not that long ago, but now that Google's market does seamless background updates, Amazon's at a bit of a disadvantage. Even updates require the user interact with the system dialog. It's a small thing, but it does make a difference. I expect Amazon to "fix" that with their phones coming out, since they will control the firmware. I'm actually surprised they haven't worked with ROM developers to get their market app trusted by the aftermarket ROMs, too.
