Amazon orders 5 million Fires
Looks like Amazon may have become the 2nd highest selling tablet and there's speculation that it may out sell the ipad.

You only need an ecosystem if you're making locked down devices. Open devices don't need their own ecosystems; they can use those of others.

There is nothing wrong with the device. You have other inferior options. |

Google doesn't do anything with their ecosystem. The android marketplace is like a flea market. You never no what you get. Amazon at least has some quality control with their apps. They are also ensuring the apps are consistent and work for their device. I think that's great.

B&N on the other hand does not offer an emulator for their device, and, if rumors are true, generally won't accept an application that hasn't been tested on one of their controlled test units. This is one factor that seems to be keeping the number of available Nook applications down, but I wouldn't go so far as to claim that B&N is spending the money for careful quality control, either. |
