I still glower, but I know of two loopholes:

1. You can get Amazon Instant Video on your cellular tablet if you use the Amazon Appstore directly. It's kinda vague on the distinction between a cellular tablet and a phone.

2. Amazon Instant Video works just fine if you sideload the Amazon for Phones and Amazon Instant Video apps.

Yeah, I was so annoyed when I got the update on my phone, went to my Nvidia Shield to install it, and... nothing. Ugh.

Is this still the case? I just watched an AIV movie on my Nexus 7.
