AMAZON/Android
Whats funny is as soon as someone roots it, it will be just another sub-flavor of droid. We own 6 Fires and 5 android smartphones. Also one nook color, which is rooted. Would not have bought the Fires unless I knew they were droid powered, (LINUX). So I know they will eventually get rooted. The amazon flavored android os is functional but almost as resrtictive as an iPad! Once I can buy apps and services outside of amazon I will get happier! But rest assured Apple folks, when there is only one car dealer in town, you are paying absolute top dollar for anything you buy there! $1.35 for a song.....20 songs at wal mart on a CD costs about $12.00. Thats $0.60 a song. And no DRM! Don't confuse Freedom and Prison. Different versions of the OS with different features sounds like choices, as opposed to overpriced hardware and micromanaged software choices controled by a single dictator, which sounds like PRISON to Android buyers, speaking of course to Microsoft and Apple! Next we will read here, how android will never make a dent in the laptop, netbook, or desktop arena. And for the same reasons this article was wrong, those articles will also be wrong.
