The update to 2.0 largely focuses improving the on UI for better usability on the Kindle Fire but brings a few noticeable changes for smartphones. The Appstore's old white background has been replaced with shades of grey, somewhat of a resemblance to the new Android Market. Additional settings have been added amongst the new the new layout which gives you the ability to enable in-app purchases, parental controls, and provides an easier view of your Amazon gift card balance.

As much as I love the Amazon appstore, many of their apps are incredibly out of date (Vlingo for example is up to 3.3 in the Google Android market, but Amazon is still lagging behind with version 2.0.2).
So I begin to wonder if getting a “free” app just means getting a “really obsolete version of an app for free”.
They need to get these things up to date. And fast.
