Did I miss it or did they not even mention Android at all? Everyone says it;s Android powered but any official specs regarding the OS?
Phil what do you mean by embedded Android?
What he means, I think, is that its not like this is running Android or would be considered an Android tablet.
What Amazon did, which was smart, was to basically make the app section of this tablet be branded as "their apps" for Kindle but what it is doing is using Android apps.
They are using Android for apps like if they had a games section and it was all flash games.
Does that make sense?
To add to that: amazon basically took the core of android, stripped out anything superfluous (all google apps, all extra code for GPS, 3G, etc.) and then built their own 'OS' on top of it. The only reason they used android was for the app compatibility, which is a must for any tablet.
