AIR Team, it seems there was a miscommunication between Adobe and Amazon,
maybe none at all, or some edge case that Amazon didn't think of.  3 people
have had their apps rejected, for 3 different reasons (although we all know
why).

Michael Ritchie's (in LA, http://twitter.com/thanksmister) was rejected
because "they couldn't install it correctly".

Antonio Holquin (in Seattle, http://twitter.com/antonioholguin) was rejected
because "the app makes calls to another market".

Peter Else (in India/Belgium, http://twitter.com/peterelst) was rejected
because "links to Android Market to download AIR".

All 3 reasons are because having the user download & install the AIR runtime
from the Android market violates Amazon's market exclusivity terms of use.
 I understand where Amazon is coming from, and agree.  However, I fail to
see how to resolve this unless somehow AIR detects its in the Amazon market,
and downloads from Amazon instead.

I don't know why this wasn't already taken care of, but since it's clearly
not, I encourage Adobe to reach out to Amazon to resolve this as quickly as
possible.  You have early adopters getting punished for their hard work.

Thanks for the heads-up. We're aware of this and are talking to Amazon about it.
