"Android is so much better for that reason (and that's coming from an Apple diehard). People might be stuck on Gingerbread, but you don't have the compatibility issues that iOS users have. 2.3 development is going to be around for at least five more years and heavily supported."

Agreed Also I have an older 13"Macbook that I never upgraded from 10.4.11 "tiger"
I am given to understand you need the latest version of Itunes
( that I cant install) to properly interface with and load content onto your ipad unless you under take some cumbersome work arounds.

Yes I am Smoothly running the 3D game "shadowgun" that is recommended only for the Tegra Class Devices and 98% of my Apps are actually Android phone apps that scale up perfectly on my KF, it is the best of both worlds.
What I like most about the KF is that one can use it as intended as a dedicated amazon brand using only content from amazon.
Or one can Run an alternative launcher ,as I do and side load native android apps, Book readers video players and essentially have a true "android user experience" without rooting but still have complete access to the amazon eco system of videos,Books etc.
Or one can Go the Rooted path and install a completely different ROM like ICS.
This kind of versatility makes the current kindle fire a Great value IMHO despite all speculative the vapor coming from that same blogosphere that swore we would see a 7 inch Ipad by now.
