Is there a way to do this?

Trying to watch Justified on my phone (just started) and can't believe they don't have an app for this. Any suggestions, beside getting an iphone?

There used to be a work around if your phone was rooted to change how your browser was recognized, and you could watch it through your web browser if you had like Dolphin browser.

Not sure if it still works though.

Is there really no Android App for Amazon streaming?? I find that hard to believe considering their Kindle Tablets are Android based systems. I've had it on my iPhone for a long time.....

Supposedly there is also a way to get it to work through Google TV app on your phone as well.

Nobody knows why Amazon chooses to render the app inoperable on Android devices besides the Kindle.

Probably making a phone and they don't want direct competition for their services? Only thing I can think of why they wouldn't want to do it.

I don't think that's much of a factor at all. Streaming was originally sold as a throw in/add on product for Prime. They probably want as few people as possible actually streaming the free content and see it as a loss leader to upsell people paid streaming. Android users have a pretty bad reputation when it comes to actually paying for things. If Amazon does end up selling a phone, the reason would be to sell more Amazon content. If they thought a mainstream Android Prime app would sell content, it would exist whether Amazon planned to bring out a phone or not.
