Amazon has finally pushed its US-only Appstore for Android out to (at least some of) the rest of the world, with UK users and those in a handful of other countries now able to download apps via the official Amazon Appstore app.

The Amazon Appstore web site still carries the disclaimer that it’s only available to customers in the US, but we’ve just tried using the Amazon Appstore app on Android in the UK…

…and look, it’s actually working. Prices are still showing in dollars, but still. Free App of the Day is now GO without any region hacking. Ace. You’ll need to manually install the Amazon Appstore app direct from Amazon to make it work. Let us know if you also have access.

UPDATE:

It looks like the fun has ended after 24 hours – access is now denied to everyone again. We can only wonder if this was a “test” or a momentary “balls up”.
