It'll be a moot point if the new Kindle tablet has access to the Android Market.

I still say otherwise. Amazon goes to all this trouble to open up a large Android appstore and then doesn't lock their device to it? Then what was the point if people just go elsewhere for apps?

Now, if the tablet is locked, then it makes perfect sense for Amazon to lock out their biggest competitor in the ebook market - B&N.

B&N goes to a great deal of trouble to get the Nook app out to all major systems and devices. It's on the iPad, iPhone, Android, PC, Mac, and Blackberry. Why would they not want it on a major competitor like the Kindle tablet?
