LMAO! Translation, "a customized version of Google’s Android operating system" means a scaled down POS like the NookColor that won't run 99% of the Android Market apps. Sounds like another cheap device that runs only a few select apps available only through Amazon. Meh! This won't even be competitive with current Android tablets much less the iPad.
