Si Amazon was looking to stomp into the content distribution market for tablets, they must be quite satisfied. His announcement of the launch of the Instant Video app for iPad has had a Resounding success. Instant Video has climbed to the top of the web and free app download rankings since yesterday there was panic given the restrictions that prevented some users from using it.
Hitherto Netflix it reigned without excessive complications in the distribution of films and television series for iPad. However, it seems that Instant Video, thanks to its extensive catalog and free service for premium customers from Amazon, of which we spoke to you yesterday, you will raise the bar on the competition. The fury for getting the application has been such that news about the users who were having problems to run the application.
What is the problem? Apparently Amazon has included a restriction that prevents it from being used on hacked iPads. It is not the first time that it happens, since the same impediment arose at the time with the HBO application, for example. Hacking of devices is more widespread than one might suppose, since many users consider it an effective way to access applications and functionalities not supported by Apple. The most famous application to do this is probably Cydia (we, for example, showed you a few days ago its usefulness for squeeze the possibilities of Chrome), although it is not the only one.
Fortunately, solutions have traveled the web almost as fast as the problem notice. If you are one of those affected, all you need is the Cydia xCon tweak that you can get in the Cydia Store. Once you have installed it, the error message will disappear and you will now be able to play all the Instant Video videos.
