Hopefully Amazon will be good, but neither you or myself, know that at this moment. They took a high risk. Let's see if the sales backed that up.
By the way, Touchpad included Amazon's Kindle on its release. There were other companies that included some apps as well.
They released the product too early, with the bad results we all know. However, it is kind of funny that even with all those flaws, people bought Touchpads like hot cakes. So it was not only apps, after all.

I understood what you said and I disagree.
The Kindle app is still in beta. When do you think Amazon will get around to finishing it?
It sold like hotcakes because it was $99. That was the only reason I bought one. My primary tablet is a 5" Samsung Galaxy Player. Even though it cost twice as much, it's a better deal because it has more features and better content.
