I notice that I assign genders and ages, and sometimes faces to forum members -- sometimes it's what they say or how they say it, sometimes it's their name or avatar --I can't seem to help myself!

Every once in a while I find out who is really behind the mask, which is always enlightening (I'm either so right or so wrong)!

I have noticed that I err on the side of thinking people are like me . . .

For a small fee you can have VPN access to US and Amazon won't know the difference, e.g., https://www.anonyproz.com/index.htm.

We do have a VPN service. Last time I looked into it, I believe Amazon wants your account to be US-based, with a U.S. address/credit card. That may be easy enough to fake with a little effort, but honestly, I haven't found much need for their app store since I can get everything I need elsewhere.

It's not worth the non-trivial hassle, but if anyone else outside the U.S. wants to share the steps they've gone through to get it to work, I'm sure others would find it helpful.

Like you Sarah I find it too much of a hassle to be bothered trying plus I can get the apps I want from other repositories.

I suggest "Star Traders RPG" (FREE) or "Star Traders Elite RPG". I started with the free version I got off of Amazon. Played it for a couple of hours and decided to buy the Elite version. If you ever played a trading game, or the PC game Stars!, this is similiar. It is really amazing, not sure why the developer calls it an RPG game, though?
And, the game also has a helpful community forum.

rguym, that sounds like fun! (And you know I love a good forum! ) Downloaded. Will try.

I found a cool app last night called Old Time Radio Player. I got mine from Amazon (sorry all you out of U.S. people). It has (streams??) all kinds old radio plays and shows, like Abbott and Costello, Burns and Allen, Dragnet, Green Hornet, Lone Ranger, Gunsmoke, CBS Radio Mystery Theater and Lights Out!

Free. Works fine on my PE.

Thanks Filark for that, got it.

Hi, Filark, I'm the author of Yukon Gold Solitaire. Thanks for the good words! I ran across your post because we have an eDGe here where I work. It was the first tablet I ever tried running the game on, in fact. I published a new version a couple of days ago. I assume the App Store will notify you, if it hasn't already.

[Filark]

Wow! Hi CSX321!!

Thank you for my Yukon Gold! I have it on both of my eDGes and play it pretty much every day. Yours was the only version of freecell I found that played in the portrait orientation (which I prefer). I probably already downloaded the update, unless I was afraid it might make the game unplayable on the eDGe. Now that I know you have one at work I will not fear being left in the dust.

Do you have any other games?

Thank you for posting here!

[CSX321]

No worries, it should work even better on the eDGe now. This version has some optimizations so that dragging cards is about 20-30% faster. It was a little sluggish on the eDGe before (compared to my phone). Several new games in this version, too! It's the only Android app I have right now. I have an older version for Windows Mobile and another WinMo app that I used to have for sale.

[Filark]

Awesome! Thank you!

If you come up with any new games for Android please let us know!

Meanwhile, I'll make sure I have the latest version of Yukon Gold Solitaire. Might even look into getting it on my long-in-the-tooth phone.

Best of luck to you!

so is there an soc.io mall app to download for the edge?

I've found that having my fingernail as well as the fingertip contact the screen gives me results that are close to the sensitivity of my iPhone/iPad screens. OMG! someone must have imbedded a Wacom chip in my while I was sleeping.
