I suspect the release of the Android port was largely prompted by the success of the Motorola Droid, but the Droid is just the tip of that particular iceberg.

The Droid might be the reason for Kindle for Android but word is it runs fine on the Android-based Pandigital Novel among others.

The end result is a $149 7" color Kindle (of sorts).
I expect we'll shortly see similar products at 5in and $99.
Which is yet another reason why Amazon doesn't need to rush to $99. It would be nice to see a Kindle mini at $99 but its just not needed or likely Not this year.
