Initially I had problems getting Angry Birds Rio. What happened was I attempted getting it through the actual app store app on my phone initially, and that returned with a "purchase failed", and a pop-up asking me to enable one-click purchase every time, I tried it 3 or 4 times. This happened even though I have one-click purchase for mobile already enabled, which btw as a side note MUST be enabled to use the android app store at all.
So I took another approach and did it from Amazon.com. I signed into my Amazon account from my laptop, went into the AAAS (Amazon Android App Store) and purchased it there with 1-click purchase. It then shows up on my invoice as 0.00 and pops up in my AAAS app in my phone where I can download it.
I suspect that the purchase fails inside the app store on some phones because of how the 1-click purchase feature works...it's probably not as refined in the app as it is on Amazon.com yet.
I don't really think the Android Market is in trouble, I think they will go well together. Amazon also doesn't sell their app store apps outside of the U.S right now whereas this is possible from the android app store.

@Neoprimal I really agree. It spices things up a little and gives Google Android market the motivation to make changes too.
It's a good thing for us consumers.

@Neoprimal Wow, sounds like some weird issues! (But perhaps not unexpected from a new app like this.)
I don't really see how the two markets can work together. If Amazon took their apps FROM the Market, and then tacked exclusive apps on the top, that could work.
As it stands, I think people have to pick one or the other. (Once Amazon Appstore is available in their country, anyway :)
