add to that the support for amazon MP3, Netflix, Hulu+,Blockbuster, Nook, kindle, Kobo and sonyreader apps and what you have is a much more versatile and more open ecosystem than what you get with iOS which is iTunes or nothing.

You keep speaking as if you buy an android tablet and then you have nothing to put on it.
Yes, but when I buy out of amazon's store, I know the app will be virus free and it will work on my device. If it doesn't, I know I can easily get refunded. The Ecosystem is going to be the deciding factor. Amazon has it, Apple has it..

I get my updates from Amazon. No more will I have to get angry that Android 3.0 is out but my stupid manufacturer won't upgrade me past 2.2. I won't have to feel obsolete a week after I buy it. Pretty much like my iPad. Ipad2 is out but we are running he same OS so I'm fine. You don't get that experience with Android. You might get, maybe 2 updates in OS if your lucky, then its on to the 20 new tablets that's came out since you bought yours. You're left feeling forgotten. I don't think that is how it will be when you buy Amazon.

Lets not forget its rumored people will get a year of Prime, free shipping, 4 dollar over night shipping.. AND free streaming movies too? B&N is going to be hard pressed to compete with that. The other Android Manufacturer also just can't compete on that level.

I have an Android phone, and lately, I've been getting my Apps out of Amazon's store rather then Google's. I like the experience better, and I trust Amazon more..(been shopping with them over 10 years now.) All of that will mean something when it comes to tablet sales.

I just find it ironic that Googles ''open'' system cause the Telco companies to screw us when Apple had been making such great gains to win freedom away from them. Now that same ''open'' system has allowed Amazon to step in, lock Google out of their own system, and most probably, will end up being the biggest selling Android tablet.
