Kindle Fire Edition now renamed Kindle Tablet Edition, Universal
Some apps are now marked as (Kindle Tablet Edition) instead of the old (Kindle Fire Edition). Looking at the developer notes, it seems Amazon is pushing for universal iOS-like apps that you buy once and they work everywhere (for Game Circle purposes I'm thinking):

Will the first Gen Kindle fire be abandoned or will it at least get Android 4 in an update?
I Dont care either way but just curious what the plan might be |

Think they would cut their own throats if they did abandoned the first one, If they have kept the k3 in the firmware updates. The first fire maybe looked upon in the same way. (?) Some day there maybe a cut off point for the kindle family's first model generations as they seem to be doing now, the dx for example. It seem that they judge by how popular the device is in determining how long to continue support. I thinky?

We're about to find out. They've just started putting up blank software updates pages for the new Kindles up.
