The Kindle Fires hasn't done this since 2011 and was on Gingerbread. It also does not have a way to select multiple items on the carousel to delete or add to collections. There is no way to access Prime Music Radio stations. For 449.00 I expect more from Amazon like the latest features.
Blossom,

I FULLY agree with you. That being said $449.00 is on the low end for cell phone pricing. An average android/iPhone starts out at $650.00.
