There is absolutely no way on Earth that this is going to be a general-purpose Android tablet - I'm absolutely confident in making that prediction. That's not the game that Amazon are in.

WEll, Amazon isn't coming out with a tablet because it wants to help Google increase its ads revenue, or please those who want a ful Android tablet experience. Its coming out with a tablet because :

1. It wants to sell Amazon stuff
2. It wants to stifle the Nook Color

Based on that, I'm pretty sure that it will be locked down like the Kindle or the NC, I'm afraid. It will offer access to the Amazon App Store, though. Dunno how good that App Store is.
I think you are both right. It was a nice 'wish' though.
