Amazon's Android-friendly Kindle Fire splutters

Fan boys sit down...

One of the huge things that all of these failure review sites are leaving out is this is highly moddable. Non tech people are often deterred by the idea of hacking. With android it's often as easy as installing an app. Then you can install a full android operating system. Honeycomb will scream on this and eliminate the quarks that amazon has put in without hindering its e-reader abilities. No its not an ipad stop comparing it to one. It's a tablet for people that don't want to be dragged into the trendy apple world letting you buy their products and use them how they want you to. Install an app today without hacking your ipad that apple doesn't approve. Thought so... You can't. Complaining about performance? At least it gives you the option to try to use an app it's not suppose to.
