You know, I'm kind of amazed that people expected that Amazon was going to launch some kind of Android Jesus tablet, as good as the Ipad but half the price and totally stock Android and open.

When did Bezos ever say that Amazon would do anything like that?
When has Amazon ever done anything like that?
Lastly , what's the business case for anything like that?

Amazon is building a device according to its corporate self-interest. Well, hoocouldanode?
