I actually like what Amazon is doing... If they went the Honeycomb route then they would have to rely and wait on Google for updates. By taking Android and making it their own, they control the updates directly. Honeycomb is still a beta product IMO, and this way Amazon has more control and can give it more polish. Once Android offers an update that Amazon wants to work with they can always build on top of that as well.
I don't think I will dump my iPad for this, but I do like what it sounds like they are doing.
