Same here, but I already have an iPhone which does an insane number of tasks for me (internet, email, calendar, games, movies, many other apps).

I think with the Kindle they wouldn't have any of the underlying infrastructure in the code to allow the kinds of hooks needed for user designed apps, so it would be a massive re-write.

Another problem is, you wouldn't get that many coders working on apps because in terms of mobile computing, most of them are writing blackberry/iphone apps which have massive market share. Maybe the Kindle 5 might have user created apps!
