    I'm confused now. I didn't think this announcement was to allow apks install on Windows 10. Simple ask: Will you be able to download the Amazon App Store apk from the handset's browser, install, and run the app?

    Have you frequently moved the suction cup since first installation? The one I bought came with a sticky coating on the suction cup, and it's a beast (never falls, difficult to remove). But I can see potential issues if the sticky coati
