According to the notes in the latest update for the Amazon Appstore that was released today, you can now "Test Drive" apps from directly within the Appstore rather than having to do it through a browser at Amazon.com. For those not familiar, "Test Drive" is a way for users of Amazon's store to check out apps before purchasing them to see if they indeed would like to purchase them. The on-app version is a "beta feature" that comes with Appstore version 2.6.53. Amazon is making it available to select devices at this time, but plans to roll it out to many more over the next few months. So far, I'm not seeing any Test Drive love on either the Galaxy Nexus or One X.
For whatever reason, I cannot get any phone to update to this new version. Should you find a way, be sure to let us know if the Test Drive feature works well or not. This could be worth giving Amazon another shot…well, maybe.
