  • Can it play videos rented from Amazon? Again, is there an app that needs to be installed?
  • I know that it has HDMI-out. Is the video quality good when streamed to a 50" TV from the A100?
Thanks for any help! I've been looking at tablets for a while now, and if the A100 can do these things well, I may buy it.
Yes you can watch Amazon Prime over the web. I've tried it on my nook and it worked, the A100 sports a T2 CPU (dual core 1Ghz) so it should handle the video even better.

There is an apk(install file) of the Amazon Prime App floating around. It will allow you to watch Amazon Prime movies from the App. I've not tried it but the thread at XDA says they where able to watch the movie from the A100. (link)


I can't answer the question about the HDMI since I've not tried it. However if the movie is 780p it should handle it just fine.
